Kakheti

Georgia's renowned wine region invites visitors to explore rolling vineyards, historic wine estates, and charming towns steeped in tradition. Telavi, the region's administrative center, is a gateway to cultural treasures such as the Alaverdi Monastery with its ancient wine cellar, and the Tsinandali Estate, once home to Georgian nobility and now a museum and winery. Sighnaghi, perched atop a hilltop, enchants with its well-preserved city walls and panoramic views of the Alazani Valley, making Kakheti a paradise for wine connoisseurs and cultural enthusiasts.

Batumi

Georgia's vibrant coastal gem on the Black Sea dazzles visitors with its blend of modern architecture, lush green spaces, and lively seaside atmosphere. The Batumi Boulevard, stretching along the waterfront, invites leisurely strolls amidst palm trees and sculptures, while the Batumi Botanical Garden showcases exotic flora from around the world. Architectural wonders like the Alphabet Tower and Batumi Piazza add a modern flair to the cityscape, complementing historic sites such as the Gonio Fortress and the quirky moving sculpture of Ali and Nino, making Batumi a captivating destination for beachgoers, nature lovers, and culture enthusiasts.

Cave Towns of Georgia

The ancient cave towns of Uplistsikhe, Vardzia, and David Gareja stand as testaments to Georgia's rich heritage and architectural ingenuity.

Vardzia, a 12th-century cave monastery, captivates with its hundreds of rooms, awe-inspiring frescoes, and panoramic views. David Gareja, founded in the 6th century, offers a serene retreat into monastic life, featuring rock-carved cells and chapels.
