People say: you don’t have to have a big house to invite many guests, but you do have to have a big heart. This is true not only for people, but also for countries. So, small hospitable Georgia has a really big heart.
Mountains with ski resorts and the sea with beaches, luxurious forests and ancient architecture, amazing wine and delicious cuisine, unique culture and the kindest people – Georgia has everything for an unforgettable holiday. However, no vacation will allow you to cover everything at once, so you’d better plan several trips to this beautiful country.
Try tonis puri flatbreads
If you want to try real Georgian bread, buy tonis puri flatbreads in one of the many bakeries. They are baked in a traditional tone oven and served hot. When you return home, do not forget to take a couple of these flatbreads with you: they will remain tasty even after 2-3 days, especially with local wine and cheese.
Visit the Jvari Temple and the city of Mtskheta
Mtskheta is a famous pilgrimage site with ancient cathedrals, located near the capital Tbilisi. It is worth visiting not only for its sights, but also for the picturesque views. On a hill above the city is the Jvari Temple, which dates back to the seventh century and rises above the confluence of two rivers.
Refresh yourself with Borjomi mineral water
It would be strange to visit Georgia and not try the world-famous Borjomi mineral water. It lies at a depth of 8-9 kilometers and, passing through volcanic layers, is enriched with six dozen valuable minerals. Today, this healing water is exported to forty countries around the world.
Enjoy the landscapes of Svaneti
And when you have seen enough of the main beauties of Georgia, go to Svaneti – a remote area that is very different from other regions. And, of course, indescribably beautiful. Stock up on the meat pie kubdari and climb the medieval observation tower – you will have a great time!
Relax on the beaches of Adjara
For a seaside holiday, go to Adjara – to Batumi. At your service will be a luxurious embankment, pebble beaches, ideal conditions for water sports. There is a place to walk or sit in a cafe, enjoying the most delicious cuisine.
Taste Kakhetian wine
Be sure to visit Kakheti and visit the intermountain Alazani Valley, which is considered the center of winemaking in Georgia. For lovers of red wine, we can recommend “Saperavi” or “Mukuzani” and, of course, “Khvanchkara”. And if you prefer white, try Tsinandali or Mtsvani.
Visit the fortress in Sighnaghi
In the city of Sighnaghi there is a unique ancient fortress, the defensive walls of which have survived along the entire circumference. By the way, Sighnaghi itself is called the “city of lovers”, since marriages are registered here around the clock. And in Sighnaghi they also sell delicious Georgian spices and the most delicious churchkhela.
