Georgia is stunningly beautiful. Highlights included staying up in Rooms Hotel Kazbegi, in the High Caucasus; staying in the Crown Plaza Borjomi, in the freshest air in the country; traveling back roads, driving to Svaneti and exploring there, including visiting the medieval towers and small family churches with ancient frescoes; the National Museum in Mestia (Svaneti); going to Pheasant's Tears in Sighnaghi and exploring wine country in general (Kakheti); Tsinandali (Chavchavadze House Museum); Mtskheta; Jvari: Uplitsikhe; Vardzia; Akhalsikhe; Batumi Botanic Garden. In Tbilisi itself: The Dry Bridge antiques flea market; exploring the windy streets of the Old Town; the Botanic Garden; shops such as Ornament; and artist's galleries and studios (so many good artists!). Going to the ballet, and going to the opera -- both fantastic. - Jan 2019
I love exploring Vake, downtown, and Old Tbilisi. There are so many streets tucked away that are fun to wander around. Outside of the city, going up to Stepantsminda (and staying at Rooms hotel) is definitely worth a couple of weekends and skiing in Gudauri is fantastic. We're looking forward to traveling more in the country this summer (last summer, we didn't have our car yet). The Tbilisi ballet is lovely. Hiking in the Caucusus is amazing. - Apr 2017

Stomping grapes in Sighnaghi, swimming in the Black Sea, and experiencing Svaneti and Ushguli. They should be on everyone's bucket list. - Jul 2014
Visiting mountainous areas around the country and getting to know Georgians, who tend to be friendly and hospitable. Being invited to the homes of local friends is a warm and welcoming experience as extended families tend to live together; hospitality is highly valued here. - Oct 2011
