Georgia
Georgia is Europe's greatest underrated discovery — a Caucasian nation of medieval fortress-towns, vine-draped valleys producing the world's oldest natural wine, and Tbilisi, where Persian bathhouses, art nouveau balconies, and contemporary galleries coexist in one walkable old town above the Mtkvari river.

What to Do in Georgia
Iconic activities and unmissable experiences across all destinations
Abanotubani Sulphur Baths
Tbilisi was founded around its natural sulphur springs — the domed bathhouses of Abanotubani still pump 37°C mineral water into private and public pools. Book a private room (GEL 30–60/hr) rather than the public pools for the full experience.
Narikala Fortress & Old Town Walk
The 4th-century fortress above the old town is reached by cable car from Rike Park — panoramic views over the terracotta rooftops, the Mtkvari River gorge, and the Mother of Georgia statue. Walk back down through the winding old town lanes.
Georgian Wine & Food Evening
Georgia invented wine 8,000 years ago — amber (skin-contact) wines fermented in clay qvevri are unlike anything else. Pair with khachapuri (cheese bread), khinkali dumplings, and churchkhela at a traditional wine bar in Fabrika or Marjanishvili.
