This new sixth edition of Bradt's Georgia, the only dedicated guide
to the country, has been thoroughly updated throughout to include
all the most recent developments, ranging from greatly expanded
coverage of Batumi, Adjara and Svaneti to the addition of new maps
for Tbilisi, Mestia and Telavi. Tourism is booming in Georgia: the
number of guesthouses has mushroomed, Tbilisi airport has just
opened a second terminal and a new terminal and rail link are under
construction at Kutaisi airport. New low-cost flights are now
available and visa-free travel is the norm for most. With Bradt's
Georgia discover both the old and the new. The capital, Tbilisi,
has seen huge changes in the past decade with some conspicuous new
projects such as the Peace Bridge, the Opera House and the
Presidential Palace, as well as excellent new restaurants and bars.
Much of the country can be reached in day-trips from the luxury
hotels of Tbilisi and Batumi, and the remotest areas such as
Svaneti and the Pankisi Valley can also now be visited. In
addition, Mestia, the capital of Svaneti, now has an airport and
two ski resorts. Also new for this edition is expanded information
on Tusheti and the Trans Caucasian Trail, a volunteer-led project
to create two long-distance hiking routes, east-west and
north-south, linking the Black Sea with the Caspian, the Greater
Caucasus with the Lower Caucasus and Georgia with Armenia and
Azerbaijan. The Georgian wine industry is covered, with particular
emphasis on natural qvevri wines, and so too are skiing, rugby, the
World Heritage sites of Mtskheta and Gelati, Georgian food,
5th-century churches, cave cities, and Georgian polyphonic singing.
Bradt's unique guide to Georgia is the ideal companion for all
travellers, from serious hikers to wine buffs, high-end culture
lovers to backpackers of all ages.
