Rural Georgia to step back in time
The small country of Georgia, in the South Caucasus between Eastern Europe and Western Asia, used to be a fairly unknown travel destination — a favourite of backpackers looking to get off the beaten track. However, it’s attracted mainstream attention in the past decade, thanks to its rolling vineyards, rich culture, burgeoning club scene and picturesque villages. Culture Trip’s tour is a nine-day trip that takes in everything from the Unesco World Heritage sites at Mtskheta, to ancient winemaking traditions and sulphur baths in Tbilisi.
