This new edition of Bradt's Georgia, the only dedicated guide to the country, has been thoroughly updated throughout, with greatly expanded coverage of Batumi, Adjara and Svaneti. The capital, Tbilisi, has seen huge changes in the past decade with some conspicuous new projects such as the Peace Bridge, the Opera House and Saakashvili’s Presidential Palace. Much of the country can be visited in day-trips from the luxury hotels of Tbilisi and Batumi; the remotest areas such as Svaneti and the Pankisi Valley can also now be visited. Mestia, the capital of Svaneti, now has an airport and a ski resort. The Georgian wine industry is covered, as is the Black Sea resort of Batumi, near the Turkish border.
This is my first Bradt Guide, so I was not sure what to expect. So far I have been pleasantly surprised. The background information is presented in a clear, thoughtful voice. It seems to be written for a less hip reader than Lonely Planet and Rough Guide are...thank goodness.Except for Blue Guides, I usually think travel guides spend too much space on where to eat and sleep while ignoring the information I really want--what can we do and see there. This guide is no exception, but it does seem to have struck a fair balance between the needs of various types of readers. There are after all, people who want to plan every bit of their trip before they ever leave. They will probably think more hotel/restaurant information is needed.The book has good quality paper, the maps are clearly printed and the color photos have good color quality and clarity. I had no problems with the organization of the book or in using the index. The list of additional resources is long and interesting. i appreciate the thought that is evident in this list.I deeply appreciate that there is an entire guide devoted to Georgia.
