Georgia
Old World Charm in the Caucasus
Georgia sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia—an ancient land of vineyards, monasteries, and snow-dusted peaks.
From the cobbled streets of Tbilisi to the towering ranges of Kazbegi, every turn reveals a landscape shaped by myth and resilience.
Beyond its scenery, Georgia is defined by its sense of spirit—lively toasts at a supra (feast), polyphonic singing in a mountain village, or the quiet hospitality of a family-run guesthouse. It’s a place where the past is deeply felt and the present moves at its own pace, offering travellers both rich traditions and room to roam.
Travelling through Georgia means tasting wine from clay pots, hiking to hilltop churches, and being welcomed like family. Whether you’re exploring the country itself or crossing into Armenia or Azerbaijan, this small nation leaves a lasting impression.

When visiting Georgia, you should be aware of several cultural customs. Georgians are renowned for their hospitality, particularly the tradition of the “supra” or feast, led by a “tamada” or toastmaster, where wine is central and toasting with beer is avoided. When visiting religious sites like Orthodox churches, dress modestly, with women often covering their heads and both genders covering shoulders and knees. It’s customary to remove shoes when entering a home, and showing deep respect for elders is important. Learning a few basic Georgian phrases will also be appreciated.
The best way to get to Georgia from Singapore is by plane, as there are no direct flights. Travel will involve at least one layover, commonly through Middle Eastern hubs like Doha or Dubai, or European hubs such as Istanbul. The total journey time typically ranges from 13 to 20 hours.
