Georgia – A Land of Gods

A legend has it that once God called together all nations to assign lands to each one. The Georgians were the last to arrive because they had been having a late-night party with wine and songs the night before. When inquired about their late arrival, the Georgians said they were feasting and glorifying God. God was so pleased with their response that he gifted them the finest piece of land that he intended to keep for himself.The people of Georgia are renowned for their warmth and hospitality. In any village restaurant, you will be greeted with songs, toasts, stories, and laughter. It's important to join in, even if you don't grasp the joke.The guest is considered a gift of God. So you will be offered food and drink every few minutes, and the hosts will be happy if you can stay longer than planned.

Ancient Winemaking Legacy

This story perfectly captures the spirit of the Georgian people and their land. Georgia is a magnificent country situated between the Black and Caspian Seas. It offers extraordinary mountains, fertile soil, pristine river waters, and rich wildlife. Georgians are among the most devout people in the world. Additionally, Georgia boasts an 8,000-year history in winemaking. And during this time they have brought the art of deeply appreciating and enjoying wine to perfection. According to an ancient recipe, grapes are placed in a large clay pot and buried underground. Imagine the myriad of legends and traditions that winemaking, older than some civilizations, can hold! Even the colossal statue of the "Mother of Georgia" atop a hill in Tbilisi is depicted holding a bowl of wine.

Legendary Georgian Cuisine

Mmmmm... khachapuri, khinkali, kharcho… And walnuts, that accompany almost every meal. These iconic dishes, perfected over centuries, originate from here and can be tasted in different restaurants all over the world. But here they are especially delicious. There's a risk of returning home a couple of lamb shanks heavier!

Description of the resorts

Tbilisi
Tbilisi

Tbilisi

Nestled among mountains along the Kura River, acts as a bridge between east and west, old and new. 

It's not just a preserved museum but a vibrant metropolis where modern cafes confidently sit on ancient ruins. Medieval ambiance pervades winding streets, bustling markets, and hidden courtyards. 

Atop the hill, Narikala Fortress overlooks the city, accessible by cable car, offering a splendid view of the colorful cityscape during the ascent. 

Surprisingly, westernized nightlife blends electro and house with classic disco, pulsating until the early hours.

Tbilisi

Batumi

The Soviet-era seaside resort of Batumi has swiftly evolved into a futuristic oasis with playful architecture and urban spaces. 

Tourists familiar with its Soviet past might hardly recognize it now, with a hint of Dubai's grandeur. The 7 km pebbly beach is safe and well-maintained. Ferris wheels with lasers, water spectacles in fountains, and Western music from cafes create an enchanting atmosphere. 

Markets, museums, and churches abound, but the standout is Batumi's vast, wildly diverse botanical garden. Taking the cable car to the city in the evening offers the best views of both the lush mountains and the cityscape.
