Silk Dream – Discover Georgia: A 7-Day Cultural & Scenic Adventure

Your journey begins in Tbilisi, the vibrant heart of Georgia. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted and transferred to your hotel for check-in. The rest of the day is yours to unwind or start exploring the city’s charming streets at your leisure. Stroll along the Kura River, soak in the atmosphere of the Old Town, or relax in preparation for the adventures ahead.

(Breakfast included | Lunch & dinner optional)
Your exploration begins at 10:00 AM with a warm Georgian greeting: “Gamarjoba, genatsvale!” (Hello, welcome!).

Tbilisi—the “warm city”—owes its name to the natural sulfur springs that bubble beneath its streets. According to legend, King Vakhtang Gorgasali founded the city after his falcon and a pheasant were tragically boiled in these thermal waters. Today, Tbilisi is a mesmerizing blend of ancient history and modern energy, where terracotta-domed baths stand alongside sleek business centers.

This city has inspired poets for centuries—Pushkin called it a “Magic Land,” while Lermontov, Griboyedov, Tolstoy, and Gorky found literary inspiration in its winding alleys and dramatic landscapes. As you explore, you’ll understand why: Tbilisi’s unique architecture, cobblestone streets, and breathtaking vistas create an atmosphere unlike any other city in the world.

Evening Highlight (Optional):
Indulge in a traditional Georgian feast at a local restaurant, complete with folk dances, polyphonic singing, and a lavish spread of regional delicacies.
