    The purpose of this book is to better acquaint the general public with the agritourism potential of the Samtskhe-Javakheti region, part of Georgia's oldest province Great Meskheti. The region was famous for its agricultural resources and also known as the granary of Georgia since it was the country's main supplier of wheat, flax and legumes. Today Samtskhe-Javakheti offers many attractions with impressive cultural and natural sights, architectural monuments, churches, fortifications and unique artworks. Here, Georgian customs and traditions and the Meskhetian culinary inheritance are well preserved. The booklet will help those who love independent travel to gain a clear idea about places of interest in the region: agroroutes, historical monuments, natural attractions, guesthouses, agritourism farms and restaurants.
