“Every Georgian dish is a poem.”
The Caucasus are some of the last explored wilderness regions of Europe. Rich with history, they offer a dramatic scenery of lakes, mountains, and forests.
The landscape is dotted with stone watchtowers, ancient monasteries and wooden churches which can be traced back to the earliest days of Christianity.
The people are some of the friendliest in the world and a warm welcome will guarantee and rewarding and memorable trip.
We hope you can join us on the next leg of our Silk Road adventure.
