At the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Georgia unassumingly offers visitors the best of the Caucasus region – beautiful churches, wild and unspoiled countryside perfect for hiking and cycling, welcoming locals, homemade wines and marathon toasting. With up-to-date details on a growing number of ecotourism and adventure-tourism initiatives and the latest on the political situation and break-away states, Bradt's Georgia aids you in avoiding meal-time faux pas, reveals the country's hidden cultural treasures and offers practical details on varied activities from countryside caving, visiting ancient pagan ruins or tackling four litres of wine in a sitting. A land of cultural and natural diversity, Georgia greets you with open arms and an open bottle – or two. Series: Bradt Travel Guides Rating: 5 / 5 stars - 6 vote(s). |
Press Reviews:
'Best guidebook'
The Sunday Times
'This book provides vital information not elsewhere available... it is good on travelling, eating and accommodation.'
Times Literary Supplement
'First rate.'
The Daily Telegraph
A well written, great book - saved my trip to a very beatiful country. Prefer this compared to the out-dated thin Lonely Planet Georgia edition anyday. I will certainly lookout for more Tim Burford books next time I travel.
