Natural Wonders of Georgia: The 4 Most Beautiful Places to Visit
4 places in the atlas
Georgia is squeezed between the Greater Caucasus in the north and the Lesser Caucasus in the south, giving it dramatic mountains — including the glaciated 5,000-metre volcano of Kazbek — cut by deep valleys. Its wet western lowlands, drained by rivers off the mountains, are green and almost subtropical, riddled with karst that forms turquoise canyons like Martvili and huge caves like Prometheus. Forests, alpine meadows, and mineral springs fill out one of the most scenically varied small countries in the world. Below are the 4 natural wonders of Georgia in the atlas — the most beautiful places to build a trip around, each with what makes it remarkable, when to go, and how to reach it. Best overall time: Summer (June–September) for the high Caucasus; spring and autumn for the green canyons and caves of the west, which are mild much of the year.
