Location Of Georgia
Georgia is a mountainous country bordered by the Russian Federation in the north, Turkey in the southeast, Armenia in the south, Azerbaijan in the east and by the Black Sea in the west, which forms a 206-mile long coastline. The ranges of the Greater Caucasus cross the state. Enclosed high valleys, wide basins, and health spas with famous mineral waters, caves and waterfalls combine in this land of varied landscapes and striking beauty.

Airports
Tbilisi airport is 9 miles east of Tbilisi city centre. Buses and taxis are available to the city centre and take around 30 minutes travel time.

Language
The official language is Georgian. Russian, Ossetian and Abkhazian are also spoken.

Places To Go
There are a lot of religious sites to be seen all over the country and the hospitality is one of the best in the world. Nightlife in the republic is to be found primarily in international hotels. The Georgian State Dancers are highly praised but only occasionally to be glimpsed in Tbilisi, being almost constantly on tour. The Rustaveli Georgian Drama theatre also has a good reputation and is particularly renowned for its Shakespeare productions.
