REGIONS

Georgia is an ancient Christian land and former Soviet republic, uncrowded and unexplored, offering a mystery as ripe and familiar as late summer fruit. The country is divided into nine administrative regions, two autonomous regions and the capital city, Tbilisi. Each place has its own inimitable soul - from the relaxed bustle of the cosmopolitan capital to tranquil mountain villages and subtropical seaside resorts. Visit Georgia's regions and fall under the spell of a land steeped in folklore and the traces of ancient civilizations.

Spend a day wine tasting in Kakheti in the shadow of the Caucasus. Discover Tbilisi's flourishing cultural scene and the complex ancient history of Kartli. Dive into the frothy emerald forests and sweeping valleys of Mtskheta-Mtianeti and explore the centuries old rock-hewn cave towns of Vardzia in Samtskhe-Javakheti. Witness the incredible wildlife and landscapes as inspiring as glinting stars inmereti. Feel a potent prickle of excitement in Racha-Lechkhumi's outdoor playground. And everywhere you go, you'll enjoy Georgia's history and culture literally on a plate.
