The Caucasus is a
region located at the border of Europe and Asia, situated between the Black Sea
and the Caspian Sea, and is occupied by Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and
Armenia. Majority of people are not very much aware about this place and find
it difficult to locate where Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia are located in the
map.
Therefore, before you decide about tours to Armenia Georgia Azerbaijan, you must know few things about Caucasus.
- This region is very
diverse
All three countries
are falling in Caucasus region however they are distinctly different from each
other. Their languages, religion and cultures are different. Georgia and
Armenia share few common history and therefore there is some similarity in
their beliefs. Therefore, if you are traveling to this region then you must
visit all the three countries.
- Looks more like Europe
than Asia
Since it is located
in the border of east and west and hence the influence of European culture can
be seen to certain extent. After they broke up from Soviet Union they have
moved away from Russia and trying to align more with western countries. Though
technically it is in Asia but you get the flavour of Europe.
- All these countries are
neighbours but not friends
Though all these
three countries are in close vicinity and share similar history but their
political relationship is far from friendly.
- Poverty is a common issue
There may be plenty
of differences among these three countries but one thing is common between them
and that is poverty.
- Cities are safe
In spite of having
poverty and political conflict tourists can feel safe in these countries. Contact us if
