The story
Sololaki keeps its stories on the outside. Walk its balconies and you’ll pass carved wood, laundry, grapevines and the occasional handwritten note left for a neighbour who moved away in 1994. This route follows seven of those notes — or rather, the people who kept them.
It is a short walk with a lot of looking up. Bring a camera, take your time, and don’t be surprised if a stranger joins in to explain a doorway. In Tbilisi, that is part of the route.
