Why Georgia?
Georgia is the best-kept secret between Europe and Asia — and one of the most fascinating travel destinations you haven't yet considered. Located at the crossroads of two continents, this small country in the Caucasus offers an almost incredible abundance on just 69,700 km²:
- The cradle of wine — Georgia is the oldest wine country in the world. For over 8,000 years, wine has been cultivated here, fermented in Qvevri (clay vessels in the ground), and drunk at every opportunity. The Qvevri method is UNESCO World Heritage.
- The Greater Caucasus — Peaks over 5,000 meters with eternal snow, dramatic gorges, glaciers, and mountain villages that seem from another time. Hiking, skiing, marveling — all at world-class level.
- One of the oldest Christian nations in the world — Georgia has been Christian since 337 AD. Ancient churches and monasteries stand on mountain tops and in caves, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes.
- Legendary hospitality — Georgians consider guests as "gifts from God". The Supra (feast table) with its Tamada (toastmaster) is an experience you will never forget.
- Incredibly good food — Khinkali (dumplings), Khachapuri (cheese bread), Mtsvadi (skewers), Churchkhela (nut-grape juice confection) — Georgian cuisine is a feast for every palate.
- Extremely affordable — Georgia is one of the cheapest travel destinations in Europe. A lavish three-course meal with wine for under €15, accommodations from €15 a night, Marshrutka rides for €2–5.
- No visa required — Germans, Austrians, and Swiss can stay in Georgia for up to 1 year without a visa. A whole year!
- Only 4 flight hours from Germany — closer than you think.
Georgia is the land where the Golden Fleece of Greek mythology lay, where Alexandre Dumas raved during his Caucasus journey, and where today digital nomads and adventurers celebrate one of Europe's last undiscovered gems. Once you've been to Georgia, you'll return — that's not a cliché, it's a law.
