Georgia Uncovered

• Trip code: 4L9X000
• Dauer: 7
• Stil: Classic

Picture this: ancient fortresses, lively cities, rugged rock formations, and cascading waterfalls, all woven into a history that shaped civilizations. Now add in a splash of local wine, a hands-on cooking class, and unforgettable connections with locals — could there be a better way to spend seven days in Georgia? Absolutely not. Walk the halls of centuries-old churches and fortresses, tracing the footsteps of those who came before. Marvel at sweeping river gorges and dramatic mountain landscapes. Savour the rich flavours of Georgia, from perfectly folded khinkali dumplings to regional wines that have been crafted and perfected over generations. This isn’t just a trip — it’s a journey through time, culture, and the heart of the Caucasus. Enjoy every second.
