Why travel to Georgia?
Georgia is a country in the Caucasus in Eastern Europe which borders Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia. The capital, Tbilisi, is both charming and pleasant, with sights, cable cars, shopping, popular sulphur baths and good food.
It's also exciting to explore other parts of Georgia. First of all, this is an incredibly beautiful country, with dizzyingly high mountains and great hiking opportunities. Georgia has a very long history, and there are plenty of historical sights in the form of castles, churches and monasteries. You can also try wine in the wine region of Kakhetia, or why not experience the Black Sea resort of Batumi?
