GEORGIA
The mention of Georgia conjures images of peach trees, grand old oaks and romantic ante-bellum plantation houses echoing Gone With the Wind. Famous for its Southern hospitality and its prominent place in the history of the American nation, Georgia boasts a remarkable diversity of character and climate. This is the land of cotton, peanuts and tales of the American Civil War. There is so much to explore in Georgia. Enjoy the crisp air of the mountains in the north, the unspoilt Golden Isles, the lush natural scenery and the beautiful state parks. Museums abound – this is the Deep South – and there is something for everyone. Sports enthusiasts will find golfing, horse riding, sailing and many other sports facilities and the vibrant Atlanta has a cityscape second to none! The historic city of Savannah with its famous riverside, Georgian architecture and chic shops is a must-see for the tourist. To the South lie the Golden Isles of Georgia embracing St. Simon’s Island, Little St. Simon’s Island, Sea island and Jekyll Island, a unique and relaxing place favoured by America’s society set in the latter part of the 19th Century when they built a private club as a retreat for such wealthy families as Rockefeller, Vanderbilt and Morgan.
