These gems are between the Black and Caspian Seas…  beautiful and vibrant cities – old and modern, mountains, sweeping valleys and lakes, fairy tale forests, ancient monasteries and fortresses, and delectable cuisine. After seventy years of stifling Soviet rule Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia have risen like magnificent phoenixes and today are progressive countries that are eager to share their beauty and warmth with the rest of the world. From Baku on the Caspian Sea, the eclectic capital of Azerbaijan, we travel through the rich history and geological wonders of her countryside. We cross into Georgia, home of the world’s oldest wine industry, world-renowned cuisine and blessed by natural beauty, to her capital Tbilisi – wide tree-lined boulevards and classic architecture.  This magnificent journey ends in Armenia – mountainous, quaint villages and churches and monasteries of a distant past, and pretty Yerevan, the capital.  Join us on the road less travelled and discover the Caucasus, as yet unspoiled by mass tourism…
