Introducing Georgia's spots!

🇬🇪Tbilisi

Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, is famous for its historic streets, hot spring culture, and wine.

The views from the hills were breathtaking, almost momentary.

Out of curiosity, I decided to take a dip in the sulfurous hot springs...
It was so much hotter than I expected, I thought I might get burned! 🔥

I also tried some wine, but instead of a half bottle, I got a full liter,
and before I knew it, I was pretty drunk (lol).

Tbilisi Walking Tour & Impressions 🌆
✅ It's a hilly city, but the views from the hills are amazing!

The view from Narikala Fortress was spectacular,
the red brick roofs of the old town blended with modern architecture.

Access was easy, with a cable car ride to the top.
Tbilisi was especially beautiful at sunset, and I lost track of time as I gazed upon it.

✅ A city with a deep-rooted hot spring culture ♨️

Tbilisi, meaning "warm spring," is famous for its abundant sulfur hot springs!
In the Abanotubani district of the old city,
there are rows of dome-shaped brick hot springs.
It was so hot I had to brave it, but once I got used to it, it felt great (lol).

✅ Wine Paradise 🍷

Georgia is said to be the world's oldest wine-producing country,
and you can enjoy delicious wine everywhere!
I ordered a half bottle, but was surprised when I got a full liter (lol).
It was fruity and easy to drink, and before I knew it, I was drunk.

Georgian Food I Tried in Tbilisi 🍽️
🧀 Khachapuri

A Georgian specialty: cheese bread.
"Adjaruli khachapuri" was especially delicious, with cheese and egg inside a boat-shaped bread!

🥩 Shkmeruli

A chicken dish stewed in a creamy sauce rich in garlic.
It's incredibly delicious when eaten with rice or bread.
