Georgia Quiz – Where Europe Meets Asia in the Caucasus
Georgia is a small country in the Caucasus region, at the crossroads of Eastern Europe and Western Asia. It is bordered by Russia, Türkiye, Armenia and Azerbaijan, with a coastline on the Black Sea. Not to be confused with the US state of the same name, Georgia is known for dramatic mountains, ancient churches, world-class wine and legendary hospitality.
Georgia has a long and proud history. The ancient kingdom of Colchis, on the Black Sea coast, appears in Greek myth as the land of the Golden Fleece. Georgia adopted Christianity in the 4th century, making it one of the earliest Christian nations. Its golden age came under Queen Tamar in the 12th and 13th centuries. Georgia became independent from the Soviet Union in 1991.
Tbilisi, the capital, sits in a river valley with sulfur baths, old churches and modern glass buildings. In the north, the Greater Caucasus Mountains rise above villages like Stepantsminda, with Gergeti Trinity Church high on a hill, and remote Svaneti, known for its medieval stone towers. The Black Sea city of Batumi offers beaches and a lively boulevard.
Georgian culture is famous for its supra feasts, where a toastmaster leads long, heartfelt toasts. Georgians have made wine for about 8,000 years using clay qvevri buried in the ground. Food favorites include khachapuri cheese bread and khinkali dumplings. Georgian polyphonic singing and the country's unique alphabet are both recognized by UNESCO.
This quiz covers the geography, history, food and traditions of Georgia.
Georgia has also become a popular destination for adventure. Hikers explore the high valleys of Svaneti and Tusheti, where villages are cut off by snow for much of the year. Skiers head to Gudauri in winter, and the Georgian Military Road winds through dramatic gorges toward the Russian border. In the east, the Kakheti region is lined with vineyards and monasteries.
