South Caucasus Trip

Georgia | Sep 3 - Sep 16, 2024

My trip to the south Caucasus countries of Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia was excellent! I had 3 different guides (one in each country) that were wonderfully insightful, helpful, and knowledgeable about their countries, food, people, and places. In Azerbaijan, Turkan was super funny and very enthusiastic, and she kept the days action packed with some cool side-trips and a great tour of Baku. In Georgia, Alex took me all over the country including Tbilisi, and I learned a ton about the food and wine. I really also enjoyed our day in the mountains with tremendous views. And finally, Avet in Armenia had fantastic insights and did some incredible driving all over the country. Yerevan was super fun as was finally getting the chance to see Mt. Ararat (I've never not seen it shrouded in clouds before). I also enjoyed the Armenian wine and food, especially on our trip to the southern mountains. And of course, as usual, Zehra managed all the details behind the scenes to make sure my hotels, guides, and border transits were all in order. Would recommend this kind of trip to anybody looking to get an introductory survey to these 3 countries - it was fantastic!
