GEORGIA in the South Caucasus is probably one of the most exotic and exciting ones if you are looking for a destination that challenge you, amazes you, and isn't yet crowded with tourists. Trekking on high altitudes or splashing in the Black Sea: Everything is accessible within hours from each other. In the post-soviet space, Georgia is one of the most economically and democratic developed countries and pursues a western orientation. Cultural values are anchored in the orthodox christian church.
I have enjoyed traveling in Georgia every summer since 2004. On this website I would like to share some of my experiences with you.
THE UPDATES 2010 features a look at the wine production in the Racha region where the famous Kvanchkhara wine is produced. I will take you on a fantastic tour in extreme nature to Shatili, a medeval fortress in the middle of the mountains. I also attend Leo and Nana's orthodox re-marriage, an emerging tradition after decades of repression during communism. After a short visit at the local barbershop in Tkibuli, I visit Gelati, the "new Athens".
