Spend 10 days exploring Azerbaijan and Georgia, where historic Old Towns and monasteries sit alongside skyscrapers and the Caucasus mountains
  • Walk through Azerbaijan's Old Town, where views of the Palace of the Shirvanshahs are made even more spectacular by the modern skyscrapers in the background.
  • Hike to the 14th-century Gergeti Trinity Church, which sits in splendid isolation at 2170 m in the heart of the Caucasus Mountains.
  • Stop at a traditional Georgian wine producer where the ancient, UNESCO-listed qvevri method is still used, then enjoy a hearty home-cooked lunch.
  • Navigate the organised chaos of the farmers markets in Telavi. Your expert local leader will be there to help you order as much fresh fruit, nuts or pigs’ heads as you desire.
  • Connect with locals and gain insight into everyday life in this part of the world – you'll visit the Udi community in Nij, learn the traditional methods of copper craftsmanship in Lahij and appreciate stained-glass artistry in Sheki.
