Read it, then make it stick
Geography of Georgia
Black Sea lowlands, two Caucasus ranges and rivers flowing towards different seas.
Know the shape of the country
Start with nine regions, the autonomous republics of Adjara and Abkhazia, and separate Tbilisi, then place twenty cities and towns and find two rivers, Lake Paravani and the Black Sea. Zoom in for Tbilisi. South Ossetia overlaps the reference regions and is not a thirteenth map unit. Boundaries: geoBoundaries/Wikimedia, CC BY 3.0, generalised 2015 reference geometry. Rioni and Paravani: ยฉ OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0. Mtkvari: Natural Earth, public domain. River reaches retain a small border margin. The sea target is not a maritime claim; city coordinates are curated.
Places worth visiting
Essential ยท Fortress
Narikala Fortress
Narikala crowns a ridge above the Mtkvari and Tbilisiโs old neighbourhoods. Its fortifications have been rebuilt over many periods. The pin locates the historic fortress rather than guaranteeing access during restoration.
Locate sixteen sights across Tbilisi, Mtskheta, Kakheti, Svaneti, Adjara and the southern highlands. Learn churches, towers, cave settlements and protected landscapes, with representative pins for larger sites. Check site access and mountain conditions separately. Essential places introduce the main themes; Worth a detour adds regional depth. These are learning priorities across a country, rather than stops on a single route. Select a pin to read about a place, then play the map and find them all.
