Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti: The Unmissable Treasures

Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti spans from the subtropical lowlands of the Black Sea to the highest glaciated peaks of the Greater Caucasus. This list features Shkhara, Georgia's highest point, and the iconic twin-pinnacled Ushba. Cultural highlights include the Svaneti Museum’s medieval icons and the 4th-century ruins of Nokalakevi. The region's unique geography is further defined by the Enguri Dam, one of the world's highest concrete arch dams, and the deep limestone formations of Martvili Canyon.
