Using this kind of format, we seek to suit the needs of people from all walks of life (tourists, investors, scientists, simply enthusiasts, etc). It is, however, very difficult to accommodate all kinds of interests.  So, we just ask for your patience and understanding if any of the sections appears to you rather boring or too informative to digest.

Let’s get to know the Georgian tradition the history of which goes back 8000 years!
