Story. At a Glance.
Georgia sits where the towering Caucasus meet the gentle Black Sea coast. Tbilisi, its capital named for its healing hot springs, pulses with a mix of cultures, faiths, and history. Beyond the city, the Georgian countryside unfolds with monasteries perched on hillsides, castles guarding valleys, and caves glittering with underground rivers. Sip wine aged in ancient facclay vessels, wander vibrant bazaars, ride cable cars above rushing rivers, and take in landscapes that shift from lush forests to mountain ridges. This is a place to explore deeply, awaken curiosity, and experience stories woven into every street and hillside.
Inside Out. Jewish Georgia.
Georgia’s Jewish community is among the world’s oldest, tracing its roots to the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BCE. For over two millennia, Georgian Jews preserved a distinct identity, blending their traditions with local culture while maintaining connections to the wider Jewish world. Once thriving in towns and mountain villages across the country, the community today is small, with many families having emigrated to Israel in recent decades. Historic neighborhoods, cultural landmarks, and museums offer travelers a rare glimpse into a heritage that has endured for centuries — a story of resilience, continuity, and quiet but lasting presence in Georgian life.
