Off the tourist track, the roads in subtropical Guria weave through densely forested hills and valleys - reminiscent of Thailand or Sri Lanka - past walnut and fruit orchards as well as tea plantations. Cows and pigs wander on to the road. Diminutive Orthodox churches sit on roadsides or perch on hilltops.

Follow the newly introduced Tea Route and find out the history and culture of tea in Georgia. For a slice of authentic Georgian life, visit at Farmstay 'Komli" with a beautiful view of Gomis Mta, Lesser Caucasus Mountains dividing Guria and Adjara. Guests are invited to explore the small vineyard, tea and bamboo plantations and farm-to-table dining with the family.

Next Morning drive to Gomi Mountain, a strange and otherworldly place above the clouds, local summer resort, the quaint, cobbled-together metal & wood self-builds sit on the skyline above a yellow carpet of perfumed azalea. It’s a magical place, well worth the hour-long drive up the rough but spectacular mountain road.
