Hosted by

Zehra

Coworking trip
Hi, My name is Zehra. I'm photographer and archeologist. I make photo tours mostly. I take my groups to hidden places and villages. Where tourist doesn't visit it. At this trip we will visit a abandon city. 2 very interesting villages. If you are not familiar with photography I can teach you some tricks. We will stay at the small hotels. We will share the room with one person only. We will be in places that many people have not seen and go on our photo trip to Georgia. As we will visit the cities of Georgia, we will also photograph the Adjara Autonomous Region and its villages, where we will take very different and beautiful photos. Adjara Autonomous Region is a region where there are very natural, unspoiled villages like the continuation of Artvin villages in Turkey. We will visit a town that is frozen in time. The amazing architecture we will see in this completely abandoned town will impress us all. Afterward, we will go to the mountains and visit the Svaneti Region. We will photograph the aesthetic defense towers of medieval stone standing next to the houses. These villages, which we reached through dirt roads, where there was not even a road during our first visit, today have an asphalt roads. Unfortunately, we only have a few years left to see their final versions. It will be more touristy after that.

Trip Itinerary
1

Batumi

Day 1-2
Day 1: We will come from different places and meet in Batumi. On the first day, our program will be in Batumi, photographing the squares, the city center, the theater building, and the coastline, and of course, we will disperse one by one and take photos freely in the streets of the city center. Our dinner and accommodation will be in Batumi.
2

Batumi

Day 2-3
Day 2: After breakfast, we will visit Georgian villages in Adjara Region. Life in the villages still continues in the traditional way. Some of the houses are wooden as in the Black Sea. All day we will see and photograph very pleasant villages in a green nature. It will be a day spent visiting different villages. We will disperse in the villages and take pictures as we wish. We will meet at a certain point and move on to the next village. In the evening, we will eat dinner together and our accommodation will be in Batumi.
3

Svaneti Range

Day 3-4
Day 3: After breakfast, we will drive to Svaneti, a very different and striking region today. The most important feature of this region is that almost every house has stone defense towers from the Middle Ages. The first time we went, the area was a village completely surrounded by greenery. The roads were dirt, but now asphalt roads have been built. The village still retains its character. Maybe it's the last few years we'll see in this state. We will explore this aesthetic village for photography. Our way from Batumi will take about 5 hours. However, our way may take longer as we will stop for photos on the way.
4

Svaneti Range

Day 4-5
Day 4: After breakfast, we will go to another village in the Svaneti Region, which is much more untouched than the one we are in. On the way to this village, we will drive with 4×4 jeeps. We will take lots of photo breaks on the village road. Because the road views are quite enjoyable. We will see a mountain landscape or a farmer returning from the field. Part of the village road is still dirt. In this village, too, we will see a tall stone defense tower next to each house and stunning mountain views.
5

Kutaisi

Day 5-6
Day 5: Today we will drive to Kutaisi. But before that, there is a ghost town we will stop by on the way. We will go to an area where we will take very different pictures, almost completely abandoned and very impressive buildings. We will reach Kutaisi in the middle of the day. Kutaisi is a region with very pleasant places for photography. Streets and houses seem frozen in time. Each one is more aesthetic than the other. Here we will visit a monastery. The monastery is still active, there are a lot of chaplains and the setting is beautiful for photography. However, we may find it difficult to take pictures here. Still, there will be very nice squares.
6

Tbilisi

Day 6-7
Day 6: After breakfast, if there is an area in Kutaisi that we could not photograph yesterday, we will go there and photograph it. We will depart for Tbilisi in the afternoon. It is still a very pleasant area for photography. It is a region inhabited by Georgians on one side and Azeri Turks on the other.
7

Tbilisi

Day 7-8
Day 7: After breakfast, we will spend the whole day in Tbilisi. There are many churches and synagogues that we will photograph in the city. The staff working in each one poses for us while taking pictures. Maybe Tbilisi is one of the few places in the world where we can attract religious officials so easily. After taking pictures freely in different parts of the city all day, we will have dinner together. Our accommodation will be in Tbilisi.
8

Borjomi

Day 8-9
Day 8: After breakfast, we will drive to a very interesting village. The people living in this village were exiled because they refused to do their military service in Tsarist Russia and did not go to church, and they are trying to stay together in this village. In other words, the rest of the Malakan people who came to Kars are here in Georgia. They are still trying to live in peace as they believe. They have no churches, and their places of worship are different from the church. Those living in the village, generally the elderly population, still continue to wear their traditional clothes.
9

Batumi

Day 9-10
Day 9: After our breakfast, today will be our departure day. Be sure to see a Georgia beyond your expectation. Because even though we have been many times, it still impresses us every time we go. We will leave behind a country where you can take lots of photos, love the food and a pleasant photo trip, and say goodbye at the airport until the next time.
