So you wanna visit Georgia, huh? Buckle up, buttercup!
Georgia: the country that's like a choose-your-own-adventure book, but with way more khachapuri (trust me, you'll thank me later). Whether you're a history buff with a weakness for ancient fortresses, a nature lover with a serious case of wanderlust, or a party animal with a questionable dance style (hey, no judgement here!), Georgia's got something for you.

| What You Can Do In Georgia |
History Buff? Have your fill!
- Channel your inner Indiana Jones: Explore the cave monasteries of David Gareja, a labyrinth carved into the cliffs by monks centuries ago. Imagine the holy chants echoing through the tunnels... or maybe that's just your stomach grumbling after all that khachapuri.
- Step back in time: Wander the cobblestone streets of Old Tbilisi, a maze of colorful houses, charming cafes, and enough history to fill a museum (which, by the way, Tbilisi has plenty of those too).
- Brush up on your Soviet-era knowledge: The Joseph Stalin Museum might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era. Just be prepared for some serious mustaches.
Nature Lover? Get your hike on!
- Hike to Gergeti Trinity Church: This iconic church perched on a mountaintop overlooking Kazbegi is like something out of a fairytale. The views? Unreal. The hike? Let's just say your glutes will feel the burn (but it'll be worth it, we promise).
- Explore the Caucasus Mountains: Trek through stunning valleys, get lost in lush forests, and breathe in the fresh mountain air. Just be sure to pack your camera – you'll want to capture all this beauty.
- Go spelunking: Georgia has some epic caves waiting to be explored. From the Prometheus Cave with its underground river to the Sataplia Cave with its dinosaur footprints, there's an adventure for every spelunker.
Party Animal? Let's get this shindig started!
- Tbilisi knows how to party: Hit the clubs in the capital city and dance the night away. Just remember, Georgians take their toasts seriously. Prepare to down a few glasses of their famous wine (don't worry, it's delicious).
- Unwind on the Black Sea coast: Batumi is a beach town with a serious party scene. Think casinos, swanky bars, and enough neon lights to rival Las Vegas.
- Wine tasting with a twist: The Kakheti region is Georgia's wine country, and trust us, these folks know their stuff. Take a wine tour, sample some local vintages, and learn how to do a proper Georgian toast (it's an art form, really).
Important Note: Don't even think about coming to Georgia and not trying the food. From the aforementioned khachapuri (cheesy bread goodness) to khinkali (dumplings that will explode with flavor in your mouth), Georgian cuisine is a revelation.
Tip: The details are worth a second look.
