This new sixth edition of Bradt`s Georgia, the only dedicated guide to the country, has been thoroughly updated throughout to include all the most recent developments, ranging from greatly expanded coverage of Batumi, Adjara & Svaneti to the addition of new maps for Tbilisi Old Town, Mestia & Telavi. Tourism is booming in Georgia: the number of guesthouses has mushroomed, Tbilisi airport has just opened a second terminal & a new terminal & rail link are under construction at Kutaisi airport. New low-cost flights are now available & visa-free travel is the norm for most. With Bradt`s Georgia discover both the old & the new. The capital, Tbilisi, has seen huge changes in the past decade with some conspicuous new projects such as the Peace Bridge, the Opera House & the Presidential Palace, as well as excellent new restaurants & bars.

In addition, Mestia, the capital of Svaneti, now has an airport & two ski resorts. Also new for this edition is expanded information on Tusheti & the Trans Caucasian Trail, a volunteer-led project to create two long-distance hiking routes, east-west & north-south, linking the Black Sea with the Caspian, the Greater Caucasus with the Lower Caucasus & Georgia with Armenia & Azerbaijan.

This is the first comprehensive cultural & historical introduction to modern Georgia. It covers the country region by region, taking the form of a literary journey through the transition from Soviet Georgia to the modern independent nation state. Georgia's recorded history goes back nearly 3, 000 years. The Georgians converted to Christianity in 330 & their Bagratuni monarchy endured for over 1, 000 years. The Soviets ruled the region from 1921 but their vigorous repression did little to eradicate the strong Georgian sense of nationhood & under Gorbachev, Georgian independence became inevitable. Nasmyth's lively & topical survey charts the nation's remarkable cultural & historical journey to statehood. Having travelled extensively in the country over a period of five years, Peter Nasmyth is exceptionally qualified to write on Georgia. His authoritative, dynamic & perceptive book is based on hundreds of interviews with modern Georgians, from country priests to black marketeers. Georgia: In the Mountains of Poetry will be essential reading for anyone interested in this fascinating region as well as for students & researchers requiring an insight into life after the collapse of the old Soviet order in the richest & most dramatic of the former republics. ...
