Georgia sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia in the South Caucasus — think dramatic mountain ranges, Black Sea coastlines, and ancient cities. The capital, Tbilisi, mixes medieval lanes, funky modern cafes, and Soviet-era buildings all in one walkable area. Georgia's history is long and layered: ancient kingdoms, Christian traditions going back centuries, and periods under Persian, Ottoman and Russian influence. The landscapes alone are wild — from the alpine peaks of Svaneti to the vineyards of Kakheti and the spas of Borjomi. Locals are famously hospitable and take feasting seriously, so expect food and toasts to be a core part of the vibe. For a small country, it packs culture, adventure, and a mega-rich food-and-wine scene into tight distances. If you like history, hiking, cheap delicious food, and unpredictable charm, Georgia’s got you covered.
