resorts that have been operating in Georgia have been in operations for many decades. The
attractions that brings people to tour Georgia range from its mountainous features to natural
landscapes like the Okefenokee Swamp and the romantic antebellum squires of savannah.

Day 1- The sameba cathedral
The Sameba cathedral appears as a medieval structure although it is a very modern creation
located in Tbilisi. It was finished in the year 2004 and is a holy place for the Orthodox
Church in Eastern Georgia. It is located in the capital Tbilisi. The building was inspired by a
blend of various schools of architecture and sports a very traditional and medieval look. A
very educative place which houses nine chapels many of which are located in the
underground of the beautiful building. It teaches a lot concerning culture, heritage and
religion. The Sameba cathedral is one of the principal destination for the city. The Tusheti
national park is also a very beautiful place that we visited in our first day. This is the historic
home for the Tush people and is also a breathtaking place for extreme sport for tourists. It is
big on relief and made up of largely soaring peaks and hills on a well clad grass. Very few
roads in site and many historical villages can be found in the misty mountain tops which are
historic. There are brick built affairs like the Darlto which can be seen protruding from the
Georgian lands encompassed in rural sheep farms. The region is known for its cheeses and
wool and swathes of spruce forests. We came to Georgia from Barnaul, they had their own
travel company at home, but the crisis forced them to open new horizons For several years,
the Pavlovs have built a stable business - a travel company in Georgia. How they did it and
why they chose our country, they told Sputnik in the project Georgia through the eyes of
foreigners. One summer day arrived on vacation in Georgia. Tbilisi, Mtskheta, Sighnaghi ...
And now they are fascinated by the country, its culture, traditions and nature (Erkomaishvili,
Gvelesiani, & Chavleishvili, 2014).
Day 2- Tour of the fortress of Anacopia
The fortress of Anacopia is an ancient citadel used by the military dating back to the
second century. When we visited it had attracted a lot of tourists and had the capacity to have

more than 1000 people at a go. Located on the Iverian Mountains in new athos, it is built to
block an invasion of their enemies then who were Islamists. A very important tourist
attraction with historical value and a major foreign exchange earner for the Georgian
government. In later years, it lost its tactical importance it remained to be a significant
cultural icon to the region and the country. As a very old historical site, it can be remembered
that in the eighth century, Leon 1 of Abkhazia defended it against a siege laid by the tough
Marwan of the Umayyad caliphate (Maple, 2016). The day 2 was very good and had a lot of
fun. We slept in the widely known Hilton hotel in Georgian capital and we were treated like
kings. Their service make more and more tourists to come in the country. I remember we are
sitting in a cafe in Sighnaghi, sheltered from the summer heat. Alazansky valley stretches in
front of us. The sun is high in the sky. In the distance you can see powerful mountains, from
which it really blows cool. Relaxing atmosphere, isn't it? And then I wanted to share this
thought with, looked at him and realized that he was not at all relaxed. Some violent thought
processes were taking place in his head.
Yegor confirmed that at that time he was considering possible options for the development of
business in Georgia. At that time, the Pavlovs had their own travel agency in Barnaul (Altai
Krai). However, it was 2014, many Russian travel agencies had many difficulties due to the
crisis. The Pavlovs did not avoid this problem. Spouses were at a loss.
Day 3- Uplistsikhe Cave Town
We visited the cave town which literally means the lord fortress. A cite to behold and
an ancient town made of rocks. It is build and stands elegantly on the banks of Mktvari River
and several structures which trace back to the origin of the iron age. It was once a known as
the epitome of Christian culture in Georgia although the cite was abandoned later in the
