Ancient Winemaking Legacy
Medieval Cities,Sunny Beaches,Hipsters
Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia nestled among mountains, is a captivating blend of Old World charm and modern lifestyle. Here, medieval churches and fortresses stand alongside modern art galleries and hipster cafes. Times may change, but the warm and friendly atmosphere of Tbilisi remains constant.
The legendary summer city of Batumi has transformed over the decades into a modern resort with high-class hotels, beautiful promenades, and lovely beaches.
A highlight of the mountain town of Borjomi is undoubtedly its mineral water and spa centres built around the springs. It's a place where one can take a deep breath, embark on mountain hikes, and live in harmony with nature.
1.8 Million Years of History
A trip to Georgia is more than just a vacation; it's a journey filled with discoveries. As you travel from village to village along the small mountain roads, you begin to appreciate the diversity of life in the mountains. Here the traditions still exist, unaffected by passing trends.
This region's history spans an incredible 1.8 million years, boasting archaeological discoveries among the oldest found outside of Africa.
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
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.
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.
