Achara Situated in the south-west of Georgia on the Black Sea coast, the Achara region is one of the most beautiful parts of the country. The ever-changing colours of the sea wash against a subtropical coastline of palm trees and tea plantations backed by forested hills. The natural beauty of Achara is matched by the fascinating history of a region that spent three centuries under Turkish rule and is still home to a population of Georgian Muslims and yet has maintained its Georgian language and culture throughout.
