15 Best Things to Do and See in Georgia (Updated 2025)

"Visiting the Katskhi Pillar in western Georgia is unforgettable: this natural limestone monolith over 130 feet high supports a seventh-century church complex on top, was inhabited by a monk until 2015, and now only monks climb the steel ladder as part of their pilgrimage; the buildings were recently refurbished and a visitor center is planned." - Matthew Kepnes
