What's this trip about?

    Undoubtedly, one of the reasons for visiting the Caucasus is its spectacular scenery and no one who visits here can fail to be moved by the beauty of the mountains and the steppe. In June too, flowers fill the meadows and the beekeepers are moving their hives up the mountains. But both Georgia and Armenia are imbued with extensive and fascinating histories and for anyone with even a passing interest in the history of Christianity both of these countries are a source of riches.
