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.
