In Imereti, visit ancient temples like Bagrati Cathedral and Gelati Monastery, explore scenic canyons and caves, and enjoy local cuisine featuring Imeretian khachapuri.
In Samegrelo, explore the Dadiani Palace and Kolkheti National Park, and taste regional dishes such as elargi, ghomi, gebzhalia, and Megrelian khachapuri.
In Svaneti, discover Svan towers in the Caucasus Mountains and experience a rich blend of nature, tradition, and kubdari — a savory meat-filled bread.
Finally, in Adjara, enjoy the harmony of Adjarian music, the Black Sea coast, and the modern architecture of Batumi — the “Dubai of the Caucasus.” Taste the iconic Adjarian khachapuri, a boat-shaped bread with cheese and egg yolk, once prepared for returning sailors.
