George Sharashidze, Where.ge Publisher, welcomes readers to the WHERE.GE late-winter issue.
Although the winter is almost over, Georgia’s fast-growing ski resorts are still in demand among tourists and locals, and will be until mid-April.
Unique skiing is not the only reason Svaneti is considered one of Georgia’s best travel destinations: for anyone interested in culture, history, lasting traditions and customs, watchtowers, beautiful views, and discovering the characteristics of Georgia, Svaneti is a must. Explore Svaneti with us in our Where to Go section and get ready for an unforgettable experience.
In that same section, our Svaneti-based correspondent Tony Hanmer decided to take you not on his customary tour of the region, but on a fascinating journey back to 19th century Tbilisi, both in images and words.
In our Where to Stay section, our editor-in-chief Katie Davies offers a useful winter hotel guide for those who don’t ski but still fancy a winter getaway.
Another guide prepared by Katie is perfect for those on the hunt for fancy wine bars and for those who want to know more about fine dining experiences on offer in Tbilisi. Check out Tbilisi’s simple, affordable and own-style bars with her, where you’ll be good for both beers and cocktails in the Where to Drink section, and for a selection of the best Georgian cuisine on the pages of Where to Eat.
This issue of WHERE.ge, as per tradition, hosts famous Georgians and expats, giving them the opportunity to share their best recommendations in each of the WHERE.ge sections - Go, Stay, Eat, Drink and Buy.
