The geography

Georgia is comfortably ensconced alongside the east coast of the Black Sea. The country is pampered by the warm and pleasant climate provided under the protection of the Greater Caucasus mountains.

On the other hand, the Lesser Caucasus mountains located on the southern part of the country, although modest in height, are luscious and multifaceted alike. They secure this nation against the arid climate found in most parts of Turkey, Azerbaijan and Armenia _ southern neighbors of Georgia.
