Tbilisi: The Captivating Capital

Home to the "Svan" people and their medieval defensive towers, this region feels frozen in time.
Ushguli: Often cited as one of the highest continuously inhabited settlements in Europe, it offers a surreal landscape of stone towers and glaciers.

Batumi: The Black Sea Jewel

If you’re looking for a mix of seaside relaxation and nightlife, Batumi is the place. It features a long coastal boulevard, quirky modern architecture, and a sub-tropical climate.

Ancient Cave Cities: Vardzia & Uplistsikhe

Georgia's history is literally carved into its mountains.
