Southern Georgia is a high, gentle world of volcanic plateaus, crater lakes and the deep forests of the Borjomi gorge. Softer than the Greater Caucasus but rich in variety, it holds a UNESCO-listed national park, the extraordinary Vardzia cave city carved into a cliff, and the country's most family-friendly ski resort — a region made for accessible, scenic adventure.
Forests, plateaus and cave cities
Trek the beech-and-spruce trails of Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park, walk the rock-hewn city of Vardzia, and birdwatch on the wide Javakheti plateau lakes, all in Samtskhe-Javakheti.
Bakuriani all year
