Georgia on My Mind
No, I am not talking about that Georgia referred to in the song. Instead, we will explore Georgia, a tiny country at the intersection of Europe and Asia.
Georgia is a former Soviet republic that’s home to Caucasus Mountain villages and Black Sea beaches. The capital city is Tbilisi and is one of the oldest cities in the world
Dzveli Tbilisi, or Old Tbilisi, is a large area known for its snaking lanes, traditional Tbilisi houses, and restaurant-lined Jan Shardeni Street.
There are a lot of historical places to visit in Georgia, some of which still dates back to the Bible.
The best time to visit Tbilisi is durint Fall. From July to September you can still avoid extreme summer heat and humidity and freezing winter.

The old town area of Tbilisi is really quite charming. Unfortunately there is quite a lot of it under reconstruction which is great for future tourists. It has an interesting mix of architectural styles and is well worth a stroll around.
Tbilisi's Old Town is probably one of its most charming features, situated between the river and the Narikala Fortress up on the hill, it has some amazing views.
There are many restaurants, cafes and souvenir shops in this area as well, it's a good place to visit by day, as well as for a night out.

[Walking in the exotic city of Tbilisi] The old city is the essence of Tbilisi, suitable for leisurely stop and go, shooting the beauty of the literary style. Exquisite coloured Caucasian wooden balconies decorate the streets and buildings with vicissitudes of life, and the ubiquitous comet is a gentle presence.

Holy Trinity Cathedral of Tbilisi
Welcome to the main church not only of Tbilisi, but of the whole of Georgia!
This church is better known in Georgian as Sameba and was built in 2004 and it is the third-tallest Eastern Orthodox cathedral in the world and one of the largest religious buildings in the world by total area.
The building looks simply colossal and can be seen from almost any hill in Tbilisi.
Visiting tips: Church attendance is free, but you must dress appropriately. Also next to the church there is a small restaurant of the Lagidze chain with very tasty beverages. I advise you to try it!

True Georgian authentic culture
There is an amazing beautiful park around the biggest church in city Tbilisi, Georgia. The magnificent stairs leading to church make it feel like pilgrimage. There is a beautiful pond with birds which is quite unusual. The church itself is smaller than I thought, but the ceilings are extremely high which gives it a feeling of reaching the sky. Gorgeous place!

Sighnaghi old city Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
City of Love ❤️
#georgia #momentsmission #travelinspiration #unforgettableexperiences Sighnaghi, also known as the city of love, is one of the smallest towns in Georgia but is also one of the most attractive ones. It’s got its romantic name because of the wedding house which is open 24/7 and a couple may get married there any time of the day (useful tip for those who are in a rush 😉).
Apart from that, the city itself is very beautiful, cozy and romantic. The cobblestone and narrow streets make you feel like you are somewhere in Europe. There are lots of small stores where you can buy traditional goods and treats; cozy cafes and restaurants with delicious food; nice and comfortable hotels overlooking the Alazani Valley. Definitely worth visiting. If you go to any restaurant there, trying traditional Kakheti barbecue is a must.

Gergeti Trinity Church Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
One of must visit wonder in Georgia
Located near to Mount Kazbegi, 2200 meters above sea level the view at the church is magnificent. If you’re planning to visit here for a quick getaway from Tbilisi city, its advisable to take a day tour because they will stop by few other places that considered as must visit in Georgia like Ananuri Fortress and Russia-Georgia Friendship monument. They can also drop you in Gergeti village if you’re planning to stay for few days.
If you keen to drive from Tbilisi it will take around 4 hours but you have to be an expert of driving as the road is full with lorry and sometimes sheep too.
Its worth to stay for few days too in Gergeti village as you can walk around the village, hike to the church and got to enjoy the view more. The road is super bumpy from the base to the church so if you easily get motion sickness bring your motion sickness medicine with you.

Breath-Taking Scenery, Gergeti Church
#georgia #scenery Gergeti Church is located at the top of a mountain. It's kind of a long hike to get there. The hike is a bit difficult at the beginning before you reach the main road, but it's worth the effort. You also have the option to take ride up or down, or both for extra money. There is no entrance fee or any payment needs to be done. I won't advice you to drive all the way up with your car. You can park and take another 4x4 van or hike. Keep traveling and enjoy
Gergeti Trinity Church - Kazbeki
What a view in Georgia! Driving hours from Tbilisi to Kazbeki was incredible and exciting experience. The weather was great and the view was amazing. I stayed in a friendly homestay and found that local people were so kind and nice even though they can speak little English. #stepantsminda #kazbeki #georgia #gergetitrinitychurch #roadtrip

Narikala Castle Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Short hiking in Tbilisi
First of all, I recommend you to start hiking from getting to Mother of Georgia. Find steps near Betlemi Chirch and go up ⬆️
After the monument go to the side of Kura river and enjoy the view! Soon you will be next to the next place - Chirch of the St Nicholas. Newly built in 1996–1997, it replaces the original 13th-century church that was destroyed in a fire.
Also you will see Narikala fortress. The fortress consists of two walled sections on a steep hill between the sulphur baths and the botanical gardens of Tbilisi.

Castle with best view of Tbilisi
After such a long flight, we finally arrived in Tbilisi. We went straight to Narikala castle fearing the sun would go down.
It was on the top of the hill therefore the driver must have excellent driving skill to reach the top.
The view was absolutely beautiful but there was so much dust (PM2.5) so the view was not so clear, but acceptable.
I think this place offered the best view of Tbilisi.
Entrance fee: None
Parking: available
Not too crowded
Narikala is an ancient fortress overlooking Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, and the Mtkvari River. The fortress consists of two walled sections on a steep hill between the sulfur baths and the botanical gardens of Tbilisi.
Catch the cable car up to the Fortress - easiest way to get there.
An ancient fortress dating back to the 4th Century.
The Mother of Armenia statue is located near to the Fortress.
From this vantage point there are very wide views of Tbilisi and the Mtkvan River.
From the Fortress we walked down via Botanical Street and had a quick visit to the Mosque.
