[quote=Anonymous]I feel like Georgia (Caucasus) has gotten a lot of publicity over the last ten years among certain crowds, but hasn’t really become a mainstream tourist destination. Probably because people are scared of what Russia might have in mind. Understandably. Though I’m floored by how many people still seem to think Georgia is part of Russia.

It’s also not the most convenient place to reach - you usually fly through Istanbul and the connecting flight is usually at 4am. Transit and infrastructure are rather questionable. But once you’re there, it’s more than worth it. Gorgeous landscapes, delicious food and wine, wonderful, friendly people, and very, very cheap. And they WANT tourists and foreigners, especially Westerners. Young people prefer English over Russian as their second language and they will love it if you try your hand at learning Georgian (haha, good luck), and they would love to have a tourism economy to compete with the finances of Russian-backed oligarchs.
