Located in the Southern Caucasus group with neighbouring countries Turkey, Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia; Georgia has a little of everything it seems. From the soaring mountains and ski fields of the Greater Caucasus Range with the rarely visited village communities nestled around glacier fed rivers, to the warmth and joy of the Black Sea coast where one can still find seclusion in the mid-summer on its vast coastline. There is the arid and semi-desert region in the south which is home to a unique landscape of cave monasteries and the bustling capital of Tbilisi where you would be forgiven for thinking you were in a Central Europe metropolis. Then of course there are the Georgians themselves; intensely hospitable, splendidly friendly and fiercely proud. We spent two weeks exploring this amazing place and left with the breath-taking memory of a country we knew nothing about.
