Historically a cultural and intellectual hub, the Gelati monastery is home to numerous manuscripts and murals, dating from the 12th century. A Unesco World Heritage Site, the complex also includes a number of churches where scholars and kings have been buried, notably the King of Georgia – David the Builder – in 1125.
The topography of Georgia is ideal for vineyards, and legend has it that wine was first created in in the country 8,000 years ago. The main area for growing is Kakheti, where wine-tasting is available.
Go to Gori, the birthplace of Joseph Stalin, and visit the Stalin Museum which houses artefacts from his life – including his armour-plated railway carriage.
