What is this thing they called the Georgia Syndrome and why do so many people keep talking about Georgia long after their visit here has ended? Is Georgia really this lushly green, or is it Photoshop? Do cows really walk down local highways and do the locals really party hearty any day of the week or weekend? Amazing aspects of Georgian culture, wondrous vistas, rivers of wine and many other adventures are only the beginning of what I think of as my Georgian history.
PolishGeorgian - RebelAway.com
My name is Krzysztof Nodar Ciemnołoński.
My origins are both Polish and Georgian. I have been living in Georgia, the land of my forefathers, since 2014. My life revolves around the Caucasus region, involving journeys, music, writing, culture and wine – not necessarily in that order. My blog is mainly focused on Georgia – its life, heritage, history and culture, including a range of reflections upon numerous other topics. I am a professional guide and tour operator in the Caucasus, Asia, Russia and post-Soviet regions.

We will also visit abandoned villages and places where ancient legends come alive…
Horse Riding in Washlovani 9 days
There are places in Georgia where only a handful of globetrotters have ever been. For who would expect that in the heart of the Caucasus region one could come across a… savannah? And yet there it is! Apart from broad steppes in the Vashlovani Nature Reserve, we will also discover the incredible Takti-Tepe mud volcanoes, a canyon of swallow towns, 1000 year old pistachios and naked rocks over the river Alazani, which look as if they came from an alien planet!
Nodari Wine and Vinery
In Georgia, we say that every man ought to have his own vineyard and make his own wines, in order to be able to toast joyful moments, his homeland and friendships. I dreamt of having just such a vineyard for many years. Finally – I did it! I became the founder of Nodari Wine, a brand which allows me to make my dreams of Nodari wines come true. Come visit, feel at home, let us toast life together!
