Georgia is a country balanced between its historic past and burgeoning future. The monarchs here adopted Christianity early on as the state religion and ancient churches and monasteries perch atop rugged valleys, framed by a background of snow-capped peaks of the Caucasus Mountains, settings for the Greek myths of both the Golden Fleece and Prometheus. The picturesque shores and dark, deep waters of the Black Sea beckon holiday makers and dreamers. Its close proximity to Asia, the Middle East, and Europe made it a cultural crossroads throughout history and travelers, scholars, merchants and invaders arrived along the Silk Road.

The capital city, Tbilisi, is a bustling, growing city, with museums, universities, theaters, art galleries, and a busy cafe society. Bathe in the Ottoman-inspired hot springs, and explore the Old Town, a charming mix of wooden houses, open-air balconies and winding streets at the heart of the city.

It remains an important historical and religious center, with UNESCO World Heritage Sites and fabulous examples of fortresses, monasteries and castles.
