In an article published in January titled ‘Updated for 2018: Top 10 alternatives to Turkey for your summer vacation’, Georgia was ranked as the first choice. 

The Mestia region is mentioned as the favorite location. 

“Mestia is the Real Georgia. More than 200 kilometers northwest of the largest city/capital of Tbilisi, and just south of the Russian border.” 

The article tempts readers by talking about the countries architecture, languages, and food (especially khachapuri!). 

“Georgia is one of the few places in Europe where you can experience the truly exotic in architecture and languages. The food also is a departure from Western Europe… spicy and aromatic, with walnuts a staple. Georgian pizza, khachapuri, is divine.” 

Other countries listed were Slovenia in second, Madeira in third, Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Malta, Armenia, Montenegro, and Cyprus.
