    • filter_dramaNote
      As of August 2011, massive construction works are in progress at Mestia. Therefore the place might not look so scenic.

      Four years later (September 2015), the massive construction works are completed, and Mestia is extraordinarily scenic, especially from the outdoor patio of the hotel looking across the town with its protective towers to the patchwork of agricultural fields up the slopes to the foot of the forested mountains.
