Georgia

Georgia began to feature on travel bucket lists seemingly overnight, Tbilisi (the capital) topping all charts imaginable – its nightlife even compared to that of Berlin. And although the word is now well and truly out, Georgia’s riches entice like never before: Tsminda Sameba Church in Stepantsminda (also known as “Kazbegi”), set dramatically against Mt Kazbek glaciers, is the stuff of travel daydreams, and the entire country beckons with outdoor pursuits among the lush greens of pristine nature. The revamped Black Sea resort city of Batumi livens up with vacationers during the summer, beguiling with wine (in the drink’s alleged country of birth) and peerless cuisine.

Tbilisi

The vibrant capital of Georgia is as though taken straight from a fairy tale, a city with spectacular architecture, both old and new, cobbled streets, underground thermal baths and the wonderful natural surroundings of the majestic Caucasus. Tbilisi is a perfect example of a city where tradition and modernity coexist, giving life to an amazing travel experience.
