Georgia offers a wealth of experiences for every type of traveller, blending rich cultural heritage with natural beauty. In Tbilisi, the capital, you can explore the Old Town (Altstadt) with its narrow streets and historic architecture, including the 13th-century Metekhi Church and the Narikala Fortress, which provides stunning views of the city. The Georgian National Museum offers a deep dive into the country’s history, showcasing ancient artefacts and traditional art.

Nature lovers will find the Caucasus Mountains a haven for outdoor adventures. The Kazbegi region, with its dramatic landscapes, is perfect for hiking and trekking. In the Svaneti region, the town of Mestia serves as a gateway to breathtaking mountain trails and glaciers, alongside mediaeval tower houses that add a touch of historical charm.

For those interested in cultural immersion, Georgia’s traditional experiences are not to be missed. Attending a supra, or traditional feast, offers a taste of local cuisine like khachapuri (cheese-filled bread) and kharcho (beef stew), accompanied by lively toasts and singing, a UNESCO-recognised tradition. The ancient city of Uplistsikhe, carved into a rock formation, provides a fascinating glimpse into early Georgian civilisation, with its cave dwellings and temples.

On the Black Sea coast, Batumi offers a relaxing beach experience combined with modern attractions and vibrant nightlife. The city also features botanical gardens and historical sites for those looking to explore beyond the beach. For wine enthusiasts, the Kakheti region is a must-visit, where you can tour vineyards, sample wines, and enjoy traditional Georgian feasts.

With its diverse offerings, from historical landmarks and natural wonders to cultural traditions and relaxing seaside retreats, Georgia presents a rich tapestry of experiences suited to all kinds of travellers.

Many visitors come for the culture and the countryside, but everyone comes away with one shared enduring memory: the food in the Caucasus is just fantastic. Everywhere you go in Georgia you'll find a host of locally-baked gourmet goodies, khachapuri in particular. There's no better way to end the day than to tuck into this hot cheesebread with a glass of local red wine. With direct flights to the region increasing, Georgia and Armenia are set to become far more popular - so visit soon before the crowds alter this genuine, welcoming way of life.
