After 200 years of Russian domination, 70 of them Soviet, the Georgians are new to independence and reawakening to their ancient traditions, cultural treasures and unique language. The Georgian people are proud, but more importantly, they are warm and welcoming. The residents of Georgia greet all those who visit with open arms, offering them a rare glimpse of their magnificent country, fascinating history, and rich delectable cuisine. The Georgians will invite you into their homes to share the bounty of their fields and vineyards. Today, after a somewhat turbulent few years of transition, Georgia is a safe and peaceful country well worth a visit. Traveling by mini-bus you will gain access to the country’s wild natural and manmade wonders, among them breathtaking mountain peaks, wide lakes, verdant valleys, ancient castles and churches.
