During the years it was part of the Soviet Union, Georgia was the top destination in Caucasia, offering magnificent monasteries, historic sites and scenic mountains. Wedged between Russia and Turkey, with a long shoreline on the Black Sea, it was known for its balmy climate and its fabulous food and drink.
Georgia is one of the most fascinating countries in the region, and overall a safe place to visit, though travelers should avoid the separatist regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
Evidence of the Georgians' determination to build a tourism business, particularly through infrastructure development, is widely evident. Much has been accomplished in recent years, but plenty remains to be addressed in order to reach international standards.
