1. SVAN TOWERS

One of a kind thing of the Svaneti region are its Svan towers – for sure one of the most unique Georgia tourist attractions, which cannot be found anywhere else in the world. They were used as a defense towers, but some of them are still used for living. You will see many of them in Mestia, but for the best views we recommend you to visit the remote Ushguli, which is put under UNESCO due to them.

2. PROMETHEUS UNDERGROUND CAVE

It is said the Prometheus cave is a really nice example of the underground world. It should be even more magical because of the lights throughout it, which can also be enjoyed with a boat ride (extra ticket). 

3. CANYONS AND WATERFALLS

Due to its hilly landscape, Georgia is also rich with canyons. There are many, but two of them – the Okatse and Martvili, can easily be marked as some of the best Georgia tourist attractions

4. MONASTERIES

Main religion in Georgia is orthodox and you can see that on almost every step. Georgia is rich with monasteries and churches, so no wonder they are one of the most visited tourist attractions in Georgia. One of the nicest monasteries to visit is the Gelati monastery at the outskirts of the Kutaisi town, which is also under UNESCO world heritage protection. It has been rebuilt during our visit, but it was established in 1106 by the king Davit Agmashenebeli.  In the middle ages the Gelati monastery was the largest cultural and spiritual center in Georgia. 

5. STEPANTSMINDA (KAZBEGI)

Even though you are not a hiking enthusiast, visiting Kazbegi is a must – after all it is one of the most recognized tourist attractions in Georgia. More or less people visit this region for its Gregeti Trinity church at 2170 meters above se alevel – one of the most famous symbols of Georgia. On your way to Kazbegi or back to Tbilisi is a nice stop at the Ananuri castle, along the Aragvi river.

7. ADRENALIN SPORTS, OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES AND HIKING

Georgia is an absolute paradise for everyone who likes to spend their time outdoors and being active. The majority of the best places are in the north part of the country – hiking and mountain biking are best in Svaneti and Kazbegi. Reaching Kazbegi, you can also decide for wild water rafting, quad tours or paragliding. During winter, these regions are good for skiing, so don’t be too surprised to see the chairlifts. 

8. OLD TOWNS AND CITIES

9. MOUNTAIN PASSES AND REMOTE VILLAGES

The whole Georgia has some amazing roads, but you get the best ones on the north side of the country. There are loads of high mountain passes, dirt roads and paths which can only be driven with 4WD. Some of mountain passes reach more than 3500 meters of altitude. If you ask us – 4WD enthusiasts, the most beautiful Georgia can only be seen if you have the 4-wheel drive.

10. FOOD AND DRINK

You cannot really get to know the country without tasting its traditional food, what for sure is one of the many tourist attractions in Georgia. Even though Georgia was part of formal Soviet Union, its culinary has more in common with Iran and Turkey than Russia. They use lots of veggies and meat as well. The most commonly use spices are cumin and coriander. You won’t miss when ordering different stews or baked potato with chunks of meat. If you are in a hurry, they also have an interesting selection of its fast-food. 

11. WINE

The Georgian wine has such a special roll that we should never put it under food and drink in general. Did you know that Georgia has a special way of wine production? It is produced in clay pots called kvevri. The wine looks golden and has a bit of earthy flavor. Either you like it or not, but it is well worth the try. Georgian wine is so unique that people from all over the world come to Georgia just for the wine, so no wonder the wine is always put on the list as one of the best Georgia tourist attractions.
