Experience this unique country between East and West, between Russia and Europe, hardly known by anyone in Western countries, although Georgians proudly call themselves (first!) Europeans.
The Republic of Georgia is a country at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, bordering Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Turkey. It is a country full of surprises, where we encounter many traditions we have never seen before (such as Georgian bakers diving headfirst into the hot clay oven and Georgian dance), taste flavors that are unfamiliar to us (such as Churchkhela, Khinkali, and Khachapuri), and learn that Georgia is the cradle of wine and has one of the oldest living languages in the world!
We listen to what young and elderly people have to say, we delve into local markets, where the true essence of Georgian life unfolds before our eyes, we discover towns that transport us back to the days of the Soviet Union, like the mining town of Chiatura, we witness that Stalin is still worshipped (in Gori), we venture into remote and genuine villages like Oni and Ninotsminda, we uncover UNESCO gems (Kutaisi, Ananuri), we marvel at the beauty of the landscapes (Caucasian Mountains, canyons, alpine lakes, Black Sea), we drink healing waters (in Borjomi), we are intrigued by the UNESCO-listed cave city of Vardzia and admire the modernity of Batumi. And last but certainly not least, we immerse ourselves in the exceptional atmosphere of Tbilisi, the captivating capital city.
We become involved with the remnants of the Soviet era and hear the outcry of Georgia's tension-filled relationship with Russia. Since Russia's war on Ukraine, thousands of Russians have fled to this neighboring former Soviet country, causing resentment among Georgians who see Russia as a threat. Throughout history, powerful empires like Russia, Persia, the Ottoman Empire, and the Byzantine Empire have all left their mark, shaping Georgia's destiny and its unique personality!
Explore Georgia, a one-of-a-kind Eurasian country, witness the profound spirit of the Georgian people, who, much like Ukraine, have bravely confronted military conflicts and territorial disputes with Russia, fiercly fighting for freedom and a European identity.
Thank you for watching & commenting!
Much love xx

Georgia: Tbilisi to Vardzia via Samtskhe-Javakheti
Summary of our drive to Vardzia via the highlands of Samtskhe-Javakheti.
Outbound from Tbilisi we took the S6 highway in the direction of Marneuli. From Koda we followed the entire Sh31 to Ninotsminda via Tbisi and Tsalka along Paravani Lake, Georgia's largest lake, at 2073 m above sea level. From Ninotsminda we took the S11 to Akhalkalaki and Khertvisi. Through the Mtkvari Gorge we arrived at Vardzia.
Minibus to Tbilisi, Georgia from Yerevan, Armenia | Quick Travel Vlog
It cost us a little under $40 USD (for both tickets) to bus from Yerevan, Armenia to Tbilisi Georgia in October of 2023. The last time we took a bus (outside of the EU) from one city to another city in the neighboring country, it didn't go so well. This time though, it was super easy.
If you go to the main bus terminal in Yerevan, on the left side of the building you will see a sign for Comfort Armenia. Behind that sign on that side of their building was the office. We bought our tickets the day or two before for a 10:30 am departure. Our bus filled up well before then and we were off. When we crossed out of Armenia, we just had to bring our Passports and any other documents. When we crossed into Georgia, we had to bring our bags into the building with us. Both times the passengers left the car to walk through the building while the driver stayed in the car and crossed through.
Was super easy and much cheaper than a plane ticket!

About Us
We met in college and started a five year journey to graduate, get jobs, pay off student loans and save money to travel. After getting married we bought a one way ticket to Greece in July of 2021 and have been traveling around the Globe since. Living abroad definitely brings some unique experiences.
These laidback Youtube videos will be our way of keeping in touch with family and friends as we explore different countries, try new and strange foods (and of course pizza), and see how many times we can avoid airplane fares. These homevideos will be the only souvenir we end up with at the end (only because nothing else will fit in our bags).
Thanks for watching!

Why does NO ONE TALK ABOUT these parts of GEORGIA ????????? (JAVAKHETI PLATEAU)
The Javakheti Plateau is an often unexplored region of southern Georgia, where some tourism is just starting to develop. In today’s video, we go very far off the beaten path to some of southern Georgia’s less-touristed areas near the border with Armenia, including the Bugdasheni Nature Reserve, the Madatapa Lake, and the Beshtasheni Canyon. In each of these places, we questioned whether we were in the right place and found no one but animals, nature, and gentle breezes. We also make a trip to the Dashbashi Canyon, choosing to avoid the overcommercialized glass bridge to find a secret, free village-centered viewpoint of the magnificent canyon and waterfall! Join us on this calm and peaceful final episode in Georgia, and rewatch all of our Georgia episodes here:

МОНАСТИР АЛАВЕРДИ в Грузії. Дрон | Alaverdi Monastery in Georgia | AnReal Travel
Всім привіт! В одному зі своїх турів Грузією ми відвідали неймовірний монастир Алаверди і зняли його на дрон. Відео коротке, але за його допомогою ви зможете побачити всю територію собору зверху та надихнутись на його відвідування.
Алаверди – величний собор XI століття у регіоні Кахетія. До спорудження собору Святої Трійці у Тбілісі він був найвищим храмом країни. Але видатний він не лише завдяки своїй масштабності, а й тим, що понад 10 століть є одним із символів об'єднання Грузії (починаючи з XI ст.).
Серед усіх побачених нами монастирів та соборів Грузії це місце вразило нас якнайбільше! А вам як? Чи хотіли б тут побувати?

Hello everybody! During one of our tours to Georgia, we visited the incredible Alaverdi Monastery and shot it on a drone. The video is short, but with its help, you can see the whole territory of the cathedral and be inspired to visit it.
Alaverdi is a majestic 11th-century cathedral in the Kakheti region. Prior to the construction of the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Tbilisi, it was the country's tallest church. But it is outstanding not only because of its scale but also because for more than 10 centuries it has been one of the symbols of the unification of Georgia (since the XI century).
Among all of the monasteries and cathedrals of Georgia we saw, this place impressed us the most! How do you like it? Would you like to visit it?

Dizzying 'Diamond' Bridge Opens In Georgia
A 240 meter glass bridge with a Diamond structure in the middle opens up in June 2022 in Tsalka region in Georgia, The new diamond-shaped hanging bridge is not for the faint-hearted. The bridge hanging above Dashbashi Canyon -- two hours by car from the capital Tbilisi -- could inspire you to have a drink and enjoy the view at the gigantic diamond multi-level bar at its centre or ride across on a bicycle attached to a zip line.

???????? Кахетия. Религия, виноделие и ЗАГС. Ниноцминда, Сигнахи и Алазанская долина #грузия #кахетия
В этот раз Александр Тепляков направился на родину виноделия в Грузии - в Кахетию, которая ничем не менее религиозна, чем другие регионы страны, уж точно не просто символ хорошего застолья.
Кахетия - самый восточный регион Грузии, основной производитель вина в стране, именно здесь располагается та самая, всем известная Алазанская долина (225 км. в длину и 40 в ширину, на границе с Азербайджаном).
Монастырь Ниноцминда (575 год строительства) имеет огромное архитектурное значение для Грузии, так как предшесивует монастырю Джвари. Сейчас находится в руинах, в которые его превратили землетрясения 1824 и 1848 годов. Действующий женский монастырь. На этом месте также останавливалась святая Нино.
Бодбийский монастырь, тоже женский. Именно здесь была захоронена главная святая Грузии, которая принесла христианство в страну - святая Нино. Случилось это на 67м году жизни, в 347 году. Именно на этом месте, по приказу царя Мириана, был возведен храм. Большое влияние на храм произвели Александр III и Николай II, которые создали на этом месте монастырь и всячески ему помогали. Позднее советские власти из монастыря сделали больницу и только уже после распада СССР монастырь начали приводить в порядок. Достопримечательностью монастыря является одна из самых почитаемых икон Грузии — мироточивая чудотворная Иверская икона Божией Матери, которая пережила советское время с неподобающим использованием.
Сигнахи - городок, который стал популярным не так давно, с открытием круглосуточного ЗАГСа, стал городом любви в Грузии.
