Which region of the Georgian Caucasus should I visit?

[KostasKouvalis]

SVANETI

Pros of Svaneti:

It's beatifuller and interestinger and more traditional. Many museums and the highest mountain in Europe and the famous blood feud towers are here. You can explore the key sites on foot.

Cons of Svaneti: It's so far from Tbilisi, and is much expensiver and difficulter to get to and is remoter

KAZBEGI

Pros of Kazbegi:

It's closer and easier and less expensive to get to and is less remote. It has mineral springs, waterfalls and caves

Cons of Kazbegi:

It's more commercialized and popular and not as interesting. It's beautiful (but not as). Not as traditional. The waterfalls and caves are tricky to get to. You need transportation to see the various attractions

I ended up choosing Kazbegi, as the other one is just too challenging/expensive to get to

Go to the hard to reach places. They won't be ruined by hordes of Instagramers

Have any in Wales been ruined?

Unfortunately yes on a sunny day you can barely see Eryri fit all the tourist hiking up in flipflops

I shit you not, there was a thing among them last year about climbing mountains barefoot. Loads had to be rescued. Then a woman had to be rescued after a hawk tried to eat her pet parrot.
