Our summer journey through Georgia's hidden treasures has been an unforgettable adventure! We began by hiking the stunning Eagle Canyon near Dedoplistskaro, a limestone marvel home to majestic birds of prey. The 1 km trail led us through breathtaking landscapes, offering glimpses of eagles' nests and rare flora.
In Sighnaghi, we indulged in authentic Georgian cuisine at Pheasant's Tears restaurant. Chef Gia Rokashvili crafts dishes inspired by local markets, ensuring a fresh and delightful dining experience. The cozy ambiance and delectable flavors made our visit truly special.
Our curiosity led us to the Big Shiraki abandoned Soviet airfield, a relic from the 1950s nestled in the Georgian steppe. Once home to the 178th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment, the airfield now serves as grazing land for local farmers. Exploring this historical site offered a unique glimpse into Georgia's past.
We also ventured to Mount Elia, a site of spiritual significance adorned with a charming monastery. The panoramic views from the mountaintop were simply breathtaking, providing a serene conclusion to our journey.
Join us as we recount these experiences and more in our latest blog post, capturing the essence of Georgia's hidden gems.
