Adjara
Steep Highland Rainforests
The Adjarian seacoast is heavily overrun by the sanitized tourism industry, filled with concrete skyscrapers and cynical seaside traps. Fortunately, you do not have to settle for that manufactured experience. Just a few steps away from the noise lies the real Adjara: a land of steep, jungle-covered mountains and swift rivers carving through the terrain.
Medieval Stone Bridges
The true character of Adjara is found high in the mountains, not on the crowded beaches. Getting your boots muddy crossing medieval stone bridges is the best way to reach isolated highland villages. The people here are the most openhearted hosts in all of Georgia, ready to welcome guests with a tiny cup of perfectly brewed coffee and a genuine smile.
Tenili Cheese & Floral Honey
Highland Adjarians are masterful cheesemakers and beekeepers, taking vast herds of cattle up to the alpine zones every summer. While other travelers eat generic buffet food, our groups sit around tables piled high with feasts of kaymagh creams and tenili string cheese. The mountain floral honey and strong brews of blueberry leaf tea showcase the abundant, raw flavor of the environment.
Mtirala Forest Cottages
I know how to bypass the chaos of the coast to bring you safely into these intensely green forests and rolling summer mountains. Whether you prefer hiking through the Mtirala reserves or joining herding families in their wooden cottages, this is a Georgia most people never see. Tell me what kind of untamed adventure you want, and we will leave the tourist bubble far behind.
