Georgia holidays by Cox & Kings
As one of the world’s oldest Christian nations, and with a storied, complicated history, Georgia wears remnants of these in the form of hilltop churches, Roman fortresses and rock-cave monasteries. The country boasts an exceptional and ancient cultural heritage, and is also well-known for its generous hospitality and cuisine.
A mountainous country, Georgia also features spectacular natural scenery, rolling green valleys, vineyards and Black Sea coastline. Owing to its location, a holiday to Georgia can also be easily combined with Armenia and Turkey.
