Sometimes life is unfair and we are unlucky. The same thing could be said about the Caucasus region which has just about anything to become another great tourist destination, however it is so little known in the world. Such diversity of landscapes and architecture packed in such a small area is usually not very common. The country of Georgia with its cities Tbilisi and Batumi seems to be the perfect example. These cities are so close to each other but they are completely different. It only takes a couple of hours to drive from Tbilisi to Batumi and when you reach Batumi, you have the impression that you entered another country. It is also possible to take a local mini van - called marshrutka, it departs from Tbilisi very frequently, for an exceptionally low price - around 10 EUR or 13 USD but the journey is about 6 hours. There is also an overnight train that departures from Yerevan in Armenia via Tbilisi, this is the longest way but it has its charm.
