"Back to Georgia, where ‘a guest is a gift from God", the influential British publication The Financial Times publishes a 20-page article about Georgia.
An extensive article was prepared by writer Leo Vardiashvili, who described in detail the Georgian culture, traditions, tourist places, wine, cooking, hospitality and the Freeride World Tour held in Svaneti.
"Flying to Georgia from Europe, you might catch a glimpse of the imposing Caucasus Mountains, snow-capped all year round. The other side of the plane gets a view of the Black Sea. Follow the mountains and they will guide you into Tbilisi, the capital. This is the heart of Georgia, a country wedged between the sea and the mountains.
Thanks to its location on the border between Europe and Asia, it’s a country with a troubled past. Multiple empires invaded and occupied, from the Ottomans, Byzantines and Mongols all the way to the Soviet Union. Tbilisi has been invaded more than 20 times, yet the Georgian identity still stands," - the author of the article describes Tbilisi, the lifestyle of the city, the historical districts and culture of the capital while traveling to Georgia.
Along with Tbilisi, The Financial Times article describes Svaneti, Mestia, Ushguli, Hatsvali, Tetnuldi, Tusheti, Kazbegi, Tusheti, Kutaisi, Kakheti and other regions of Georgia, touristic places, wine making and cuisine.
“In the shadow of Ushba, sometimes called the “Matterhorn of the Caucasus”, the village of Mestia is becoming a hotspot for adventure-hungry skiers. There are a couple of lifts close by at Hatsvali, and five more at Tetnuldi, 15km away, which last week hosted the Freeride World Tour for the first time. Most skiers, however, come to explore the undeveloped mountains by touring or heliskiing, or a combination of both. Mountain Tracks will run guided touring trips next winter, as will Tbilisi-based Climbing Georgia; Expedition Engineering offers heli-skiing, from €10,000 for eight days,” - the article reads.
