This captivating country offers first-time visitors a myriad of experiences that will yearn within you the urge to come back. Join us as we explore seven best places to visit in Georgia to fully appreciate the country’s unique allure.

1. Tbilisi: A Tapestry of Old and New

Start your Georgian adventure in the capital, Tbilisi. This lively city manages to merge ancient architecture just perfectly with modern flair. You can walk on the Old Town’s cobblestone streets, where balconied, colored houses and old churches bring one right into the past. Not to mention the famous Narikala Fortress, stunning not just for its  panoramic views of the city but also for its rich history dating back to the 4th century. Soak in the sulfur baths of the city, a tradition running hundreds of years, relaxing yet invigorating.

2. Kazbegi: Alpine Majesty

To the north lies Kazbegi, a mountainous region sure to leave one speechless. Then there is the real pearl, the Gergeti Trinity Church, dramatically set against the backdrop of Mount Kazbek. For hikers, paradise awaits in the surrounding trails, and casual visitors cannot help but be overwhelmed by the raw beauty of the Caucasus Mountains.

3. Kakheti: Wine Lover’s Paradise

No visit to Georgia would be complete without getting to know a bit about its 8,000-year-old winemaking. The Kakheti region is the heart of Georgian viticulture. The discovery of family-run vineyards and tastings in unique kvevri wines are complemented by hearty Georgian cuisine. Beautiful town Sighnaghi forms a perfect base to explore this region with picturesque views over the Alazani Valley.

4. Batumi: Black Sea Bliss

For a change of pace, visit Batumi on the Black Sea coast. This ultra-modern resort city boasts a beautiful seafront promenade, quirky architecture, and pulsating beaches—the perfect place to relax after your mountain adventures. Then, there is the Batumi Botanical Garden, one of the largest in Europe, with flora from all over the world.

5. Uplistsikhe: Ancient Cave City

Step into the ancient rock-hewn town of Uplistsikhe from the 1st millennium BC. This amazing complex with caves and stone houses brings one a real feel for Georgia’s long history. Winding pathways and rooms that used to be dwellings make one feel like an archaeologist uncovering secrets of the past.

6. Svaneti: Land of Towers

Svaneti is not a miss for any off-the-beaten-path kind of adventure. It’s a mountainous region known for its tower houses with a jump straight from the Middle Ages and alpine, pristine landscapes. The main town is Mestia, which serves as a good point from which to hike and learn more about the unique culture of the Svans. More adventurous travelers can go further to Ushguli, one of the highest continuously inhabited places in Europe.

7. Mtskheta: Spiritual Heart of Georgia

Only a short drive from Tbilisi is the ancient capital and spiritual center of Georgia, Mtskheta. It hosts the magnificent Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, which is the robe of Christ, and the beautiful monastery of Jvari, perched at the top of the hill. The confluence of rivers Mtkvari and Aragvi further adds to the serenity of this town.

Georgia has varied landscapes, rich culture, and warm-hearted people, making it a perfect place to visit for any curious traveler. From alpine peaks to lush vineyards, ancient cave towns to modern cities, this country manages to pack an incredible variety of experiences into quite a small area.

Georgia Day 3

We met up with our guide for the day Sergio who despite the Italian sounding name was a local. He in fact ethnically was Armenian but had been born in Georgia.

His English was pretty good and we set off from our hotel for the 30/40 minute drive to Mtskheta, the ancient capital of Georgia. First stop was the Jvari church on a hilltop overlooking the town. A lovely looking building, pretty bare inside but with a stunning view over the town and the surrounding rivers and hills.

It was a hot day around 30 certainly that in the sun. Next stop was down to the town which was really small and a bit of a tourist town (though a pleasant one). We strolled past a range of little stalls selling tourist bric a brac, plus food and a wine store where we sampled a local wine and some Chacha the local spirit (firewater). Sergio was proving a good guide telling us as much as he could about the locale and generally guiding us along well.

Our goal was the star attraction of the town the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral. Built in the 11th century it is a beautiful building inside and out and pretty large. Christ’s robe is said to be buried under the nave. After looking round the inside, guided by Sergio, we walked the circumference outside and a tranquil setting it was. Also quirkily stumbled on some topiaried olive trees in the grounds which were a first for me as they are usually a tad unkempt.

Back through the town and we set off for Stalin’s birthplace Gori to look at the museum built to commemorate him. We also saw the house he was born in. The tour of the museum by a resident guide was fascinating and fairly detailed. As we looked at various pictures of Stalin from boyhood, to activist and then leader and many stops in between our guide described various key moments in his life and the impact that had on him (including a violent father). There was a lot of ruthlessness to achieve end goals. Many acquaintances, political foes and friends were eliminated let alone those who needed to be made an example of, in his opinion. On the other hand our guide advised he could take credit for things such as improved health systems which were pretty appalling in Russia prior to his rule. We didn’t walk away though thinking he was “a good bloke”.

Our guide was straightforward and a touch whimsical in his delivery. It was very interesting and we learned a lot more than we previously knew about Uncle Joe and his associates.

On we ploughed. Next stop was the Uplistsikhe Cave City. It was a cave town unearthed in 1956 and dating back to the 10th century BC. It included a whole complex of streets, temples, tunnels, wine stores, defensive walls etc - now that was the spiel. In fact it was a bit of a barren area with caves which were dilapidated and seemingly large if shaped holes in the rock-face. We trundled up and down across an uneven surface under a pretty warm sun for 30/40 mins but it was a tad uninspiring as each cave seemed to resemble the next apart from some size differential. This was an area where a guide was essential to bring things to life but that would have needed to be a specialist local guide which did not seem to be on offer. Also Sergio even if he knew a bit more than us was not keen on venturing out into the scorching sun. Probably the one disappointment of the day.

Time to head back to Tbilisi and Sergio offered to go the “village route” rather than the freeway which we gladly accepted. Always good to go through laneways and narrower streets and see how the locals live.

That night dinner was at Balcony 12 restaurant in Tbilisi. Sitting outside in a garden area with a crooner at the mike. Liz able to enjoy a nice rose wine. Very relaxed and a pleasant wind down to the day.
