Product Description
At the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Georgia unassumingly offers visitors the best of the Caucasus region – beautiful churches, wild and unspoiled countryside perfect for hiking and cycling, welcoming locals, homemade wines and marathon toasting. With up-to-date details on a growing number of ecotourism and adventure-tourism initiatives and the latest on the political situation and break-away states, Bradt's Georgia aids you in avoiding meal-time faux pas, reveals the country's hidden cultural treasures and offers practical details on varied activities from countryside caving, visiting ancient pagan ruins or tackling four litres of wine in a sitting. A land of cultural and natural diversity, Georgia greets you with open arms and an open bottle – or two. Tim Burford spent five years in publishing before starting to write hiking and ecotourism guides for Bradt, specialising in Latin America and eastern Europe. He is the author the Bradt travel guides to Chile, Dresden and Uruguay.

Format:Paperback
Like most Bradt guides, this a very good publication in general, however, it needs a lot of updating with regard to the current situation in Georgia. Communications (including internet access and wi-fi, transport, electricity supply, amongst other things have all improved greatly in the last four years and there is a lot of promising new building and renovation going on key places of interest such as Tbilisi itself, the ancient capital Mtskheta and in the completely rebuilt hilltop village in Kakheti, Sighnaghi. The political and economic climates have also changed considerably in recent years, obviously, in particular with regard to Abhkazia and South Ossetia. Svaneti, for example, is also becoming much more tourist friendly and accessible, as are other outlying regions such as Tusheti.

I was very recently on a trip to Georgia for the first time. I was lucky enough to get the 4:th ed of this guide from Bradt (July 2011). I also brought the latest Lonely planet "Georgia" from 2008, but it stayed in my backpack for most of the time, feeling thin and outdated. I would strongly recommend anyone visiting Georgia to get this in the first place.Oh, and go visit it's a wonderful country, with ethcial and religoius mixes, poverty and riches, and a enormous variation in landscape.
The only thing i found disappointing was that Tblisi's only wholly vegetarian restaurant seemed to have ceased existing (it's both in the LP and the Bradt Georgia guides)

We found too much of what is in the guide to be out of date, particularly as we bought the brand new version. Some phone numbers quoted are out of date. The described the hotel we stayed in as convenient to city centre, not true. They described one restaurant as English speaking/ Canadian owned. Not true. We couldn't find a restaurant in the guide despite walking up and down the length of the street. Appears to have disappeared. There researchers should do better. PS the country is absolutely worth a visit.

There are not many guide books to Georgia so I bought this and the Lonely Planet and found neither of them much good. Any restaurants listed have gone. Read more

It was the newest travel guide available on the market. We had our trip to Georgia in September 2011. Particularly, I didn't like recommendations of hotels listed in the guide. Read more
