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: 4.9 / 5 stars - 7 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
I've just got back from a trip to Georgia - though my Bradt guide looks like it's gone much further. The 'food and drink' pages are spattered with lobio and khachapuri, the corners turned down on enlightening sections on Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Katie Melua, and you can see just which villages, beaches and churches we visited from the travel-stained pages. Every bit of information was accurate and enabled us to have a wonderful trip. Thank you and madlobt :-)

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.
