9 Reasons Why You Should Visit Georgia

Our guest writer Tatia Darsavelidze delivers 9 reasons why Georgia is one of the best places to go in the Caucasus region of Eurasia & beyond

REASON NO.1:
Georgia is one of the most ancient countries in the world with a luxury cuisine, hospitality, breathtaking nature, a continuous tradition of viticulture and wine-making – that is a small, but crucial description of Georgia, the place which is too attractive for Tourists!

REASON NO.2: You must taste Georgian wine
There are lots of sightseeing places to go, different delicious dishes to taste, however, one of the most requested and appealing part is to taste a wine and to see the place where it was made. When we think of the origin of wine we are inclined to think of France, Italy, Greece or Persia, but according to a number of the world’s most qualified specialists, it is Georgia that is a birthplace of wine.

REASON No.3: You must try “shashlik”

Not only Georgian Hospitality is well-known, but Georgian Cuisine is attractive for lots of Tourists. I have not met a person who is not vegetarian and did not like this food called “shashlik” or in Georgian it will be მწვადი. On your first time visit you have to try out Khinkali, Shashlik, Khachapuri. These three dishes are the main ones, crucial for you to try as a visitor, and of course delicious.
You can drink a wine or Borjomi which also suits.

REASON No.4: Georgian hospitality

I was recently talking with an American Journalist and I asked her why do you visit Georgia? What attracts you?
There was a silence for a moment, but then she answered: “Your cuisine, amazing and breathtaking places such as Kazbegi, Mestia, Kutaisi, Tbilisi, Kakheti. Each place has its characteristic features, which allocates and distinguishes from another city. Every city leaves and will leave its heritage to future Generation. We should be proud of it.”

She also added: “I have heard about Georgian Hospitality but still when I see everything by myself I am still astonished”.

Each nation is unique, different. Each of them has high sense of hospitality and responsibility, but why Georgian can be distinguished? Every one helps Tourists if they can and if they have time. What makes them different?

“Their smile makes me happy, they are always ready to help even if they rush to their work, they will show you the road, explain or try to explain with the help of hands or signs. Their natural smile and kind heart creates a family atmosphere for me”.”
