When people ask me which country I've visited that surprised me, my answer is the Black Sea nation of Georgia and the city of Batumi (pictured above). Beautiful, eclectic, and as yet uncorrupted by chain stores and fast food restaurants, this little gem of Eastern Europe and Western Asia combines the majesty of the Russian Empire, the utilitarianism of the Soviet Union, and the forward modernism of its entry into the post-Soviet world after 1991.
And did I mention the wine? Georgia makes some of the best and most diverse types of wine globally, with winemakers and little shops on nearly every street. Grapevines adorn buildings, like in other cities where ivy climbs the walls. The people are friendly and best of all, it is quite affordable.
Like many nations in the region, it was part of the Russian Empire for many years. Independence Day marks its freedom from that empire on May 26, 1919. Unfortunately, it was annexed by the Soviet Union in 1922 and endured communism until it again found freedom in 1991.
Ever since, this pretty little country nestled against the Caucasus Mountains has experienced civil unrest. However, since the 2010s, it has found its ground and continues looking toward the future.
