Georgia, also known as Sakartvelo
The guide was updated:
Nestled in the Caucasian Mountains between Europe and Asia, on the Black Sea shores, and often unjustly neglected by international tourists, Georgia is a country that conceals unbelievably beautiful treasures. It has a lot to offer to every kind of traveller and holds a rich and fascinating history for such a small territory.
Tbilisi, the capital city, is the perfect destination as it combines the old and the modern and gives a glimpse into the country's culture. It doesn't have to be the only stop for you: to get a complete vision of the Georgian traditions and folklore, you must venture into rural Georgia and experience the gorgeous nature. Hike up some of the highest snow-capped peaks of Europe, explore old villages, and interact with the local people, famous for their warm hospitality.
The country also lays claim to being the birthplace of wine and is an established gastronomic destination, so you should not miss a tasting with a lovely view of the vineyards, or eating at one of the hidden cellars where you can also try some delicious local food.
