Georgia

Georgia is still relatively unknown as a travel destination, partly because the region has frequently experienced unrest in the past. Georgia is particularly well suited to adventure holidays, with trekking and hiking through the fascinating Caucasus Mountains among the most popular activities. At 5,068 metres, Shkhara in the Greater Caucasus is the country’s highest peak. In winter, the Caucasus mountains are also ideal for skiing. Much of the natural landscape remains almost untouched, making it a paradise for nature lovers. Wine has been cultivated in Georgia for centuries, and vineyards shape large parts of the country. Georgians are known for their warm hospitality and are happy to share their history and culture with visitors. The international airport in the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, has been expanded and modernised to meet international standards. Tbilisi offers accommodation to suit every budget, from simple guesthouses to five-star hotels with every comfort. Georgia is a beautiful country, so it is no surprise that it was the most popular travel destination among the people of the former USSR. On the Black Sea, the seaside resorts of Kobuleti and Batumi attract holidaymakers seeking relaxation on their beaches. Kobuleti in particular is increasingly becoming a major tourist destination.  Georgia is also an appealing destination for culture lovers, with numerous churches, monasteries, castles and fortresses from past eras to explore. When holidaying in Georgia, be sure to sample the delights of the regional cuisine. We regularly bring you the latest news from Georgia here.
