Georgia has amazing things to do, like drinking wine in Kakheti, camping in the Caucasus, or just walking around on the cobblestone streets of Tbilisi. Here are the top 10 places you can’t miss in this Eurasia gem. 1. Tbilisi: The Eclectic Capital Key Points: Old Town: Walk along the cobblestone streets and look at the pastel-colored homes with fancy wooden porches.
