See My Family Trip Photos And Read My Georgia Story
what's up beautiful people today's blog is all about Georgia it's beautiful it's friendly it's delicious it's exhilarating and I think it should be right at the top of your travel list after a month-long trip all around Georgia
I'm gonna be talking about the top things that we love the most while traveling this country and why you should go there ASAP first is tbilisi the amazing capital city and honestly one of my favorite cities in the world now it's got good food beautiful views and it's got so many opportunities for exploration but it still feels manageable it still feels relaxed and it doesn't feel like you can go too far wrong by spending a few days there you can get a cable car up to a centuries old fortress or a funicular up to an old Soviet theme park or you can spend time exploring back streets and the hipster areas with paintings and graffiti all over the walls and even stay in one of these hipster areas in one of the most famous hostels in all of Europe called fabrica
you can do like we up to tea and stay in the old town with its narrow winding streets on the side of the hill next up we've got the mountains honestly the best days that we had was spent in the mountains we hiked we got four by fours we went to glaciers we went over ridges the views were insane and ah the rugged beauty of Georgia is pretty unparalleled in my mind I haven't traveled to anywhere quite like it where you will have the wild horses and the wild cows walking past you
you'll be crossing over glacial streams coming down from further up the mountain you can't talk about a trip to Georgia and not talk about the mountains Georgia is the food and it really was some of the best food I've had on my travels if you like cheese and you like bread then Georgia absolutely has you covered our favorite was probably the category which is well it comes in many different ways but our absolute favorite was this kind of boat of bread filled with cheese and an egg yolk and butter and I mean it it probably isn't good for the heart and the arteries but it is just so good for the soul another of my favorites was a jaggery which is a pork dish with fried potatoes and onions and peppers and spices it
it was just so so tasty we also tried khinkali which is this dumpling dish and they can be filled with meat or cheese or potato and in general I'd say it's a good place to travel if you're a vegetarian because a lot of the dishes are based around the bread or the cheese or the really fresh salad and there are a lot of meat dishes if that's what you're after as well but it's not difficult to stay away from the meat at all I also really really back the wine ice cream that we try it mmm and that brings us nicely on to number four the wine it's cheap and it's really really good in some restaurants we'd pay ten Lhari or around three pounds for a liter of homemade wine that tasted really really good Kakheti is the most famous wine producing region in the country and there's only a few hours from tbilisi and can even be done on a day trip
when we went we stayed there for a few nights and stayed in the city of love signagi and we went on a wine tasting trip and it was just set amongst the beautiful hillsides and it was just absolutely delicious but of course we can't mention the wine without mentioning the chatter which you will have to try if you're in Georgia it's a Georgian brandy which we don't really know the percentage of but we've heard it can be over 60% and we were even given it by some of our hosts as shots that we had alongside our breakfast
Georgia is the affordability we'd pay 10 pound per person per night for a really nice guest house and you can get a decent meal with wine for less than three pounds per person if you're willing to go for bakery items for lunch or for getting bread for your hikes then it can be under a pound for your meal and you will be as full as anything another reason why it's so affordable is because a lot of the activities you'll be doing will be free because you'll be hiking hiking in the mountains walking around cities doing not much other than walking and eating
so you can keep it quite cheap transport between towns often costs only a few pounds and in Tbilisi is 50 cents or 13 P to do one journey on the Metro next up is the history Georgia was the second Christian country in the world and also claims to have the oldest wine producing region of anywhere on the planet other than this there's a huge amount of other history with its cave towns and more recently its Soviet roots Stalin was actually born in Georgia in a town called Gauri which is only an hour away from Tbilisi
