Take me to Georgia

In this small and wonderful country, you can find happiness at any time of the year here. In fact, you can find everything in Georgia. In a few hours, you can get from the humid subtropics to the eternal snow on its mountain peaks. The palm trees on the sea coast are a stone’s throw away from the ski resorts. In the colourful and unpredictable Tbilisi, sixth-century churches stand side-by-side with bars, nightclubs, and hookah pubs on cozy old streets.

In Georgia, everyone can find something to their liking. Those who love relaxing holidays can enjoy the local cuisine that is, incidentally, considered one of the best in the world. Moreover, you can walk through narrow streets and explore the sights forever, because every street corner has some fascinating history behind it. And after taking the famous Tbilisi’s sulfur baths, you’ll be on cloud nine.

If you prefer something more active, you can go skiing, rafting, climbing, horseback riding, or hiking in one of the more rugged places in the Caucasus Mountains.

Bright Side advises absolutely everyone to visit this beautiful and extremely hospitable country. We promise — you’ll want to come here over and over again!
