Exquisite, enchanting and wildly diverse, we will take you from the high peaks of the Great Caucasus Mountains to the fertile plains of Kakheti; from the Black Sea coast to the deep canyons of Samagrelo. Georgia is blessed with an unparalleled variety of landscapes and each offering visitors a glimpse into a different and fascinating way of life.
One fifth of Georgia is made up of National Parks, ranging from desert to tropical coasts, highland areas, rolling fertile valley’s to marshland swamplands, offering a range of unusual flora and fauna, including one of the worlds largest migration paths of raptors. Trekking and horseback riding opportunities are countless in Georgia, often with ancient villages and monasteries dotting the national parks, adding a layer of ancient culture to the local natural wonder.
Among the many awe-inspiring landscapes, some are so sensitive and precious that they have been designated “Protected Areas”, and here the eco-tourism development is developed with a special empathy. We work closely with experts responsible for maintain these pristine environments and are proud to offer our visitors some unique opportunities to explore these magical areas.
In antiquity Eastern Georgia was referred to as Iberia and Western Georgia as Colchis or Colkhida. The Georgians themselves refer to their country as Sakartvelo, which translates as the place surrounding Kartli, a central Georgian province.
Georgia straddles a strategically vital isthmus of land lying between the Caspian and Black Seas, making it the cross roads between Europe and Asia. The towering Great Caucasus mountains range from the North to lowlands of fertile valleys, semi-desserts, steppe lands and to the tropical coasts of the Black Sea.
For such a small country Georgia has an amazing diversity of natural climates, flora and fauna making it agriculturally abundant. The mixed blessing of being the gate-keeper to the shortest land route between Europe and Asia has given both great affluence and great troubles at various times. More often than not it was a bitter and bloody past, where contending empires fought for control over the gateway. The resulting confluence of cultures that is today’s Georgia comes from the Hittites, Assyrians and Sumerians of ancient times, the Arab Caliphate, Persians and Mongols, Greeks, Romans, Turks, Russians and North Caucasians of more modern times, all intermingling sometimes through war, sometimes through trade, culture, love and religion.
