Georgia, between the Caucasus peaks and the Black Sea

Georgia lies where Eastern Europe meets Western Asia and is one of the fastest-growing destinations in the region. Its unspoilt landscapes run from the Greater Caucasus, with peaks above 5,000 m, to green valleys and the gentle Black Sea coast, alongside a long history told by stone fortresses and monasteries, and at a reasonable cost.

Most journeys begin in Tbilisi, a capital that grew up around its hot springs, with its old town, lanes and Narikala fortress above. Twenty kilometres away lies Mtskheta, the ancient capital, a World Heritage site. Then the Georgian Military Road climbs north to Kazbegi, where Gergeti Trinity Church looks across to the snow cap of Mount Kazbek.

In the west lies Borjomi, the town of the famous mineral water, among forests and a national park; on the coast, Batumi, with its long boulevard, modern towers and a botanical garden above the sea. Adjara, the region around Batumi, has an old Muslim community and active mosques.

At ZHO we arrange your journey with a private car and driver, chosen hotels, and the health insurance Georgia has required of visitors since January 2026. Tell us your dates and we will send you a programme.
