Guria On a Roll!

This is the less famous but wildly wonderful part of western Georgia, Guria. It is considered a tourist paradise due to its lack of major industry. We’ve got mountains of mountains. Our landscape of skyscraping summits and steep valleys is the perfect playground for real lover of  admire spectacular views. The mountains and the stars (ideal for shots of milky way) and views to Caucasus mountain range will make our trip memorable .

P.S. Be ready for mysterious fogs ! Inspite the climate here is officially is subtropical, outwardly Gurya is very similar to the tropical island of Java: black temples and monasteries, lost in the thickets of palm trees and bananas
