Georgia 🇬🇪: A must-see destination

In Georgia, ancient churches stand in contrast to towering snow-capped mountains. The Gergeti Trinity Church in Kazbegi, resembling a city in the sky, speaks of millennia of faith.

Step into Georgia and wander through the old town of Tbilisi. Stone roads, colorful buildings, and the chime of church bells intertwine, each step like stepping into an ancient poem.

Georgia is a culinary adventure. The rich cheese of Khachapuri, the flavorful broth of Khinkali, every bite is a tribute to gastronomy.
