- Georgia Travel & City Guide
Georgia is an old state in the Caucasus, with a beautiful coast, great mountain scenery and towns. Due to civil problems following independance after the break up of the Soviet Union, Geogria has suffered a lot. The infrastructure has taken a severe blow, parts of the Georgian Riviera are hard to access.
Still Georgia makes a great destination for the ressourceful traveler. Since Georgia is the oldest Christian state in the east, the land is packed with impressive chirches and cathedrals dating back to times when most of West Europe was still pagan. The capital Tbilisi and nearby Mtskheta are nice cities with many important monuments. The Gelati Monastery is unique in its kind. In Vardzia you will also find important examples of christian art.
