Tbilisi Georgia from the cable car to another Old Walled City |
Georgia may be the cradle of humanity, and few if any of the earth’s small nations offer the visitor as much as Georgia. This wonderful cradle of culture, religion, and ancient history, Georgia is a country where everyone can find something appealing. Georgia is a land of endless wonders that will ensure wonderful memories, which will be with you forever. Georgia is the home of the highest mountains in Europe. Enjoy truly fabulous walks, the most indigenous grape varieties in the world (with a wine culture to accompany), and fantastic architecture, exemplified by imposing stone watch towers, carved wooden balconies, richly frescoed churches, and beautiful masterpieces from the Art Nouveau period. Georgia has the world's largest and deepest cave and the ancient cave cities are amazing. Dmanisi has human remains over 1.8 million years old that can only be called remarkable. Combine all this with the Mediterranean climate and the legendary Georgian hospitality, and you have a truly unique travel destination and we didn't even mention the FOOD.
Baku, Azerbaijan is a fascinating but lessor-known country on the shores of the Caspian Sea. Azerbaijan was once a major stop on the Great Silk Road Route. The cosmopolitan booming capital, Baku, is exhilarating with a walled ancient city of no equal blended with a thriving city. You can stroll down a long pedestrian walkway on the shores of the Caspian Sea or visit the slopes of the Caucasus Mountains or a charming medieval town of Sheki; or the amazing enclave Nakhchivan. They also boast world class soccer and of course different types of their specialty, caviar! |
