Trip Highlights

Be surprised by the striking dichotomy of Baku’s ancient walled city and bold modern skyline, then head to Absheron to discover its ancient tradition of fire worship.
Experience the magnificent mountain scenery of the Georgian Military Highway, then visit the 14th-century Gergeti Trinity Church in the heart of the Caucasus Mountains (and, if the weather’s right, catch a glimpse of Mt Kazbegi).
Experience warm Georgian hospitality as you visit a traditional wine producer where the ancient, UNESCO-listed qvevri method is still used, and learn how to make khinkali (Georgian dumplings) in a family-run hotel.
Walk through history, from Garni Temple, the only surviving Greco-Roman-style pagan temple in Armenia, to Geghard monastery, representative of Armenia’s Christian medieval past.
Take part in the conservation effort of a local NGO dedicated to preserving Armenian art through a rug-weaving workshop and learn about Armenia Lavish baking using century old method.
