Description

three perfect places on Earth. Three regions that offer unique landscapes: the plains and mountains of Tbilisi, the vineyards of Kakheti, and the alpine beauty of Svaneti. Each of these areas plays a vital role in the cultural fabric of Georgia.

Do you want to explore a city that is constantly evolving yet still preserves its ancient grandeur? That city is Tbilisi. From there, journey into the paradise of taste, fragrance, and tranquility in Kakheti, a region that wraps your soul in warmth and affection. Finally, your journey takes you to the adrenaline-filled adventure of Svaneti, where humans and mountains have coexisted harmoniously for centuries. The history of time is etched into every tower and path.

Georgian Bread – Baked in traditional ovens, the warmth and hospitality of this sacred craft can be felt in every piece. Georgian bread is the embodiment of art—combining the essence of grain, sun, and earth. The aroma of freshly baked bread is the soul of Georgia, filling every corner of its houses with comfort.

Wine Tasting – Each glass of Georgian wine is infused with the sincere joy, sorrow, and history of the country—a clear symbol of the immortality of time. Sipping on this wine, you experience more than just its flavor; you experience Georgia’s heart and soul, an emotion that words cannot fully convey.

Bodbe Monastery – Located near Sighnaghi, this spiritual center is a gateway to Georgia’s Christian heritage. Bodbe is closely tied to Saint Nino, who brought Christianity to Georgia in the 4th century. Tradition holds that Saint Nino was buried here. The monastery was constructed in the 5th century by King Vakhtang Gorgasal and has expanded over the centuries, retaining its spiritual significance. Today, Bodbe remains an active monastic center, welcoming pilgrims who come to experience the peace and connection with God. The holy water of Bodbe is known to provide a profound spiritual connection, where every soul discovers its own history.

Svaneti is a place where glaciers meet the sky. It’s a land of deep blue lakes, ancient traditions, and timeless beauty, where past and present coexist in perfect harmony. The winds of Svaneti carry with them the legends and secrets of the mountains, shared only with the bravest souls.

Svan Cuisine – In Svaneti, every dish is handmade with love, and you can taste not only the flavors of the mountains but also the care and devotion of the people. Each bite is infused with the spirit of the region’s landscapes and its rich culinary heritage.

Ushguli – One of the highest settlements in Georgia, located about 2200 meters above sea level. This ancient village is known for its cultural and religious traditions, as well as its iconic Svan Towers, which have provided protection for centuries. Ushguli is considered part of the world heritage, a unique testament to Svan culture.

Shkhara – The highest peak in Georgia, located in Zemo Svaneti near the border of Georgia and Russia. The name “Shkhara,” meaning “nine” in the Svan language, refers to the many peaks on its ridge. It stands as a symbol of religious and cultural significance for the Svans. The area surrounding Shkhara is a hub for eco-tourism, where the glory of nature and human tranquility are united. The region is home to many rare species, contributing to a diverse and rich ecosystem.

Koruldi Lakes – These tranquil lakes offer a peaceful respite and a breathtaking view of the mountains, providing the perfect place for reflection and serenity.

Three distinct regions, each offering a unique adventure. Together, they form the heart of Georgia, a land where history, culture, nature, and human spirit are intertwined. Join us on this unforgettable journey through Georgia’s soul.
