Thinking about taking your next vacation in a place less traveled? If you’re a traveler who enjoys visiting places that are known for their friendly, welcoming people, then you should consider taking your next trip to the country of Georgia. Georgia is located in between Russia and Turkey, with a large portion of the country bordering the Black Sea. The country is full of a lot of cultural heritage, and finally found its independence in 1991.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Tbilisi is the capital of Georgia. The capital is loosely divided into old and new. Visiting Old Tbilisi allows vacationers to explore the historical part of the capital, which includes appreciating the historical buildings still standing from the 17th century. The maze of streets allow visitors to see the buildings up close. The Sioni Cathedral is one of the more impressive churches and therefore a must see.
The Weather. The best time to visit is during the spring or fall. While summer weather can get quite hot, this is the time when most vacationers choose to visit the city.
