Tbilisi

"Tbilisi has been the capital of Georgia for fifteen hundred years. Legend places the city's foundation at the feet of 'King Gorgasali's pheasant.' Back in the 5th century the kin, when out hawking, caught a pheasant on the wing that fell into one of the hot springs. Apparently by the time of retrieval the bird had been cooked and was ready to serve. Thus the king ordered the city to be built around the spring".

The capital of Georgia Tbilisi stands on the banks of the River Mtkvari, in a valley surrounded by hills. The word Tbilisi derives from the Georgian 'tbili' which means warm - referring to the natural springs bubbling up from the earth near its 4th century Narikala fortress. Tbilisi is a major economic, transportation and cultural center - hub of the Southern Caucasus. In its Old Town the visitors will find a Mediterranean atmosphere and a harmonious architectural melange which reflects the wide variety of nationalities that down through the ages have made their homes in Tbilisi".
