Georgia, land of infinite miracles, is opening up for modern tourism while preserving its authentic character. Its exploration is a constant pleasure, served by a sincere welcome from Georgians. A link between Europe and Asia, Georgia is a country in the Caucasus mainly known for years of wars of independence and armed conflict with Russia. Few know that we are here in a real earthly paradise where nature is omnipresent, in an authentic territory in its raw state which offers fortresses in balance on rocky peaks, troglodytic installations, picturesque dwellings, immaculate mountains, subtropical coasts, a capital, Tbilisi, cosmopolitan... In eastern Georgia, in an almost desert landscape, troglodyte monasteries spread over kilometres of steppes. Kakheti, a region of churches and castles, is also the heart of Georgia's most famous wine and vineyards. The mythical Silk Road passes not far from there, at the village of Ouplistikhé, which proudly dominates the arid Koura valley. It is in this same valley that we find the most important troglodytic complex of the Caucasus, the ancient city of Queen Tamar, Vardzia: more than a hundred caves layered in a canyon. South Georgia is particularly suited for hiking in the green Bordjomi-Kharagaouli National Park in the heart of the Lesser Caucasus. Unless you prefer to stay in a sanatorium in the Mineral Water Park of the former Bordjomi Imperial Station. The beaches of the Black Sea in Adjaria are Georgian Riviera. Near Batoumi, the second most dynamic city of the country, the botanical gardens of Cape Verde offer the best opportunity to discover the astonishing subtropical vegetation of the Adjara coast. Georgia's impressive military route leads to the heart of Europe's roof: the Greater Caucasus. Connecting Russia to Georgia, it is by this road that Russian troops entered the country, when the country was annexed by the Soviet giant. All along, we enjoy impressive panoramas on the highest mountain range in Europe. Georgia has long been an important area of contact, with its imposing Caucasus mountains forming the border between Europe and Asia. In this mystical land, you will be captivated by an exciting blend of Eastern enigma and Western elegance. Georgia enjoys a humid subtropical to arid continental climate, passing through temperate and mountain climate. Spring is one of the most pleasant seasons. The country is green again, the lilacs are in bloom. From June to September, the country is under an omnipresent sun. It can be very hot (up to 38°C) in Tbilisi as on the shores of the Black Sea. Autumn is the ideal time to discover the Kakhétie wine region. Georgia is not one contrast away. On the landscape side, the mountains with their eternal snows suddenly plunge into the intense sea. Tea plantations adjoin mandarin trees and oaks. A history of thirty centuries rubs shoulders with a country on the move. Religious contrast, to the sound of pagan polyphony heard near Christian churches built a thousand years ago. Contrast between East and West, ancient Colchis and ancient Iberia, each with its Georgian culture. Georgia is undoubtedly one of the most exciting countries of the Caucasus by its cultural and ethnic wealth and its landscapes. A trip to Georgia, land of infinite miracles, will also be marked by the welcome of its inhabitants and by its wine. Georgia is the land of superlatives. The oldest Christian country in the world, where the oldest house in Europe has been found (making it the homeland of the first European), it is crossed by the Greater Caucasus, the highest mountain massif in Europe and home to the highest level of inhabited land in Europe, Uchgouli, built at an altitude of 2 200 m. Traced by the mythical Silk Road, land of the Golden Fleece, cradle of wines, we say the blessed Georgia of the Gods. Art and culture in Georgia
Georgian folklore has both Eastern and Western influences: deep polyphonic songs, original rhythms, acrobatic dances, varied crafts. Civil or religious ceremonies are also real curiosities, sometimes borrowing from the ancient traditions of the country, sometimes from the heritage of Soviet mass celebrations. The Georgian supper, banquet, with its rites and toasts, is picturesque and unique. The heart of city life, especially in Tbilisi, is animated by small craft shops: hairdressers, dressmakers, shoemakers, garage owners, hardware manufacturers... still far from suffering from competition from supermarkets.
