What to See in Georgia
Are you planning to visit Georgia? Then you should know that here you will find alpine regions, ski resorts, and seaside coasts with a subtropical climate — in general, countless amazing places.
Georgia is a very hospitable country. You can arrive with your own car, or easily rent a vehicle in Georgia for traveling on any road. Such services are available in Tbilisi, Kutaisi, and Batumi. Georgia is rich in landmarks, churches, monasteries, and fortresses. For those who love the sea, sun, and beaches, the Black Sea coast is the perfect destination for family vacations. One of the most famous places is Ureki, known for its magnetic sand, which has been recognized as a natural healing factor. Travel here is considered beneficial for vascular and respiratory system conditions.
Magnetic sands can also be found in Bulgaria, Russia, and Ukraine, but only in Ureki does the magnetic content reach 70%. In eastern Georgia, you should definitely visit beautiful cities and regions such as Kazbegi, Kakheti, Sighnaghi, Telavi, Gremi, and Uplistsikhe — one of the first cave-hewn cities in Georgia

Popular Georgian Dishes
Georgian cuisine is distinguished by its rich history and unique flavors. The most famous Georgian dishes reflect the nation’s culture, traditions, and lifestyle. Different culinary traditions developed over centuries in various regions of Georgia, shaped by climate and geography.
Khachapuri
Khachapuri is considered one of the oldest dishes in Georgian cuisine, possibly dating back to ancient times. A cheese-filled bread similar to Khachapuri first appeared in Colchian culture and may have had ritual significance. The round shape of Imeretian Khachapuri is believed to symbolize the sun or moon.
The famous Adjarian Khachapuri is said to have been first baked by a Laz fisherman, and its boat-like shape quickly became a popular breakfast among fishermen. Today, Georgia even has a “Khachapuri Index,” inspired by The Economist’s “Big Mac Index,” to measure economic conditions based on the cost of baking Khachapuri.
Khinkali
Very little is historically known about Khinkali. According to legend, it originated in one of Georgia’s mountainous regions. Originally, it was made only with lamb and beef and was mainly food for shepherds and hunters. Khinkali was practical because it stayed fresh in cold conditions, was easy to transport, and highly nutritious.
Mtsvadi
Mtsvadi (Georgian barbecue) is probably the oldest Georgian dish. Traditionally, it was grilled on skewers made from grapevine branches, giving it a distinctive aroma. Today, Mtsvadi can be made with meat, fish, or vegetables, though pork Mtsvadi remains the most traditional version.
Lobiani
Unlike Khachapuri, Lobiani is a much younger dish and likely dates back to the late Middle Ages. Beans became widely cultivated in western Georgia from the 16th century onward, and Lobiani quickly became a popular meat alternative during fasting periods. Different regions later developed their own variations.
Eggplant with Walnuts
Eggplants likely spread to Georgia in the 12th–13th centuries from Persia or Arab countries. The walnut-filled fried eggplant dish probably originated in Kakheti around the 16th century and was often prepared for celebrations and fasting periods because of the labor-intensive preparation process.
Satsivi
Historians believe Satsivi originated in western Georgia, especially in Imereti or Guria, regions famous for walnut-based dishes. Originally prepared only for aristocratic feasts because of its expensive ingredients, Satsivi became especially popular during the 19th century and eventually became a staple New Year’s dish.
Ghomi and Elarji
Ghomi originally referred to an ancient grain cultivated in Georgia since the Neolithic era. Over centuries it transformed into the modern cornmeal-based dish known today. Elarji developed when soft cheese began being mixed into Ghomi. Both dishes remain important parts of Samegrelo’s culinary identity.
Chakapuli
Chakapuli is a seasonal dish usually prepared from late April to mid-June. It is especially popular in eastern Georgia and believed to have originated in Kakheti. Traditionally it is made with lamb or veal, green plums, herbs, and spices cooked together in clay pots.
