People, landscapes, culture … what’s not to love about Georgia

We had set the benchmark. We spent a wonderful week and a half exploring Georgia’s capital Tbilisi, but with several more weeks up our sleeves, we were certainly not going to stop here. Where to next, where to next? Depending on how much time you have here, the world is your oyster. There is a hidden treasure around every corner in this spectacular country. You are just going to have to choose.  Be prepared to be constantly surprised! Get ready for the wonders of Georgia!

What to do in and around Tbilisi

Always looking for a place that’s a little bit different and where relatively few travellers wander, we decided on Georgia, starting with the capital Tbilisi. Georgia the country, not the US state, that is! A former state of the Soviet Union it has a decidedly Russian, east bloc-esque kind of feel about it. But in many other ways, it is very decidedly not so. This country is an enigma!  On November 14, 1990, the republic was renamed the Republic of Georgia. It subsequently became independent before the dissolution of the Soviet Union on April 9, 1991. You really need to explore, observe, see and feel it. The views will not disappoint and neither will the people along with their warm hospitality. Georgians are a very proud and nationalistic people who treat foreigners with respect and courtesy.
