The OG Georgia: Peaches, Politics, and Pool Floats
This is the Georgia most Americans know and love. Home to Atlanta, the buzzing metropolis with a heart for Coca-Cola, and Savannah, a city draped in Spanish moss with a serious case of the hauntings.
Atlanta's Allure: From the Georgia Aquarium, the world's largest aquarium (seriously, it's bigger than some states!), to the civil rights landmarks that echo with history, Atlanta is a city that's both fun and thought-provoking. Plus, if you're a fan of college football, then catching a game at the University of Georgia is a must (just be prepared to hear "Go Dawgs!" chanted until your ears bleed).
Savannah's Southern Charm: Stroll through the city's historic squares, lined with grand architecture and dripping with Spanish moss. Take a ghost tour (because what's a Southern city without a good ghost story?), or indulge in some of the best shrimp and grits you'll ever have. Just remember, sweet tea is the only acceptable beverage here. Don't even think about asking for iced coffee.
The Other Georgia: Think Mountains, Monasteries, and Mystery
This Georgia, nestled in the Caucasus region between Russia and Turkey, is a land of epic beauty and ancient history. Here, you'll find soaring mountains, charming towns, and a culture that's as unique as it is welcoming.
Tip: Let the key ideas stand out.
Tbilisi's Twists and Turns: Georgia's capital is a city that's both modern and historic. Explore the maze-like streets of Old Town, soak in the natural sulfur baths (yes, you read that right!), or take a cable car up to Narikala Fortress for breathtaking views.
Step Back in Time: Explore the incredible cave monasteries of Vardzia, carved into a mountainside centuries ago. Hike to the Gergeti Trinity Church, a picture-perfect church perched on a mountaintop. Or venture into the Caucasus Mountains, a trekker's paradise with stunning scenery and hiking trails galore.
So, Which Georgia Should You Choose?
Well, that depends! If you're craving peach cobbler and college football, then the US of A's Georgia is your jam. But if you're looking for adventure, ancient history, and a touch of the mysterious, then the Caucasus Georgia will blow your mind.
