It’s quite the tongue-twister: Uplistsikhe, the abandoned cave city in central Georgia. It’s one of the oldest settlements in the Caucasus region. This city, carved into the rocks, reminds me of a lunar landscape and the Flintstones all at once! Uplistsikhe is easy to visit, and I’ll tell you all about it.

Georgia
CategoryGeorgia, the country, remains relatively unknown. This is entirely unjustified because it’s so beautiful. Nestled between the Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains, Georgia sits at an ancient crossroads where Europe meets Asia, with Russia to the north and Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan embracing its southern borders. The landscape is diverse, the history is turbulent and super interesting, the food is fantastic, and the capital, Tbilisi, is hip and happening.
