If you have not booked a vacation by now, don't worry. There's still time left and it's worth considering one incredible destination. Georgia, located between Eastern Europe and Western Asia, is a wonderful country known as the “birthplace of wine.” The winemaking history dates back 8,000 years in a unique way deeply rooted in tradition.
The country certainly has endured its name, and one of its ancient winemaking traditions even had UNESCO rule. And most of all, according to the Independent, wines that can be enjoyed for just 2 pounds at most local restaurants for just 2 pounds, can be enjoyed with wine. Geogian cuisine is also diverse thanks to the fusion of domestic culture.
The spectacular wine and food sounds good enough to convince most people to travel, but there is much more in this country. Georgia's vibrant culture spreads across the country where local markets, festivals, museums and galleries highlight just how gems their destinations are.
Georgia's beauty is evident along the streets and in looming architecture, such as Monastrey, synagogues and castles. The country has several monuments engraved on Unseco's World Heritage Listings, including the historic church in Mutsketa. Jvari Church is rated 4.7 stars on TripAdvisor.
One visitor said: “A favorite of everyone visiting Georgia. A beautiful, lovely church on the top of the hill. You can get a perfect view of the river and the mutsuketa. The place is full of PPL selling souvenirs. Women must cover their heads.
Another said: “5/5, 1. Best panoramic views. 2. One of the best tourist spots in Georgia. 3. Very historic. 4. Very safe. 5. Free entrance.”
In addition to the stunning buildings, Georgia is home to plenty of breathtaking scenery, including towering mukens and lush forests. Despite being a rather small country, Georgia has 26,060 rivers, 860 lakes, 55 waterfalls and 44 reservoirs.
Skyscanner currently shows a direct one-way flight from London Luton Airport to Georgia's capital, Tbilisi, for £96 in June.
