Georgia and the Caucasus: A five-place heritage and wine route

Georgia sits at the meeting point of Europe and Asia, on the eastern shore of the Black Sea and along the southern flank of the Caucasus Mountains. For most of its long history it has been a crossroads. Trade routes, armies, and pilgrims all passed through this narrow band of land between Russia to the north and Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan to the south. That constant movement shaped a country that feels familiar and unusual at the same time. The alphabet is its own, unlike any other. The language belongs to no larger family. The food and wine carry flavours you will not find anywhere else.

Five Places Where Medieval Europe Still Stands

Transylvania sits in the centre of Romania, ringed by the arc of the Carpathian Mountains. The name is widely known, often through fiction, but the real region is quieter and far more interesting than the legends suggest. For more than 800 years it has been a meeting point of cultures: Romanian, Hungarian, Roma, and, most visibly in its architecture, German. In the 12th century, Hungarian kings invited settlers from the Rhine and Moselle valleys to develop and defend this frontier land. Those settlers became known as the Transylvanian Saxons, and the towns and villages they built still shape the landscape today.
