Visit the South of The US - Part 1: Georgia and Florida

04/12/2022

Planning your trip in advance is strongly recommended in this post-Covid pandemic world we are living in. You will have time to choose itineraries that guarantee your safety, check the restrictions and rules in place in each state you are going to visit, consider the different lodging options offered that meet your comfort and personal needs.

Why You should visit the South

The South of the United States is famous for its slow pace, for its beautiful landscapes, for its history, and not least for its cuisine that offers delicious food.
Cities like Nashville, Houston, Memphis, and New Orleans, all synonymous with music and history, certainly offer fun and attract visitors all year round, but there are other realities, small towns, and villages that surely know how to enthrall and will leave you with indelible memories.

Georgia: What to expect and which cities to stop in

In a complete itinerary of the South there will certainly be Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana (considered the homeland of the Blues), Texas, sunny Florida, and Georgia, not to forget also Virginia and the Caroline - North & South. In each of these states, there are a few small towns that truly offer beauty and adventure.

Starting from Georgia we stop in the Blue Ridge region, located not far from the city of Atlanta, about 1 hour and a half by car. Once you arrive, take some time to get to know the quaint center, with its small shops, breweries, and restaurants, but if what you are looking for is to be immersed in nature then visit Chattahoochee National Forest, and if you arrive during the apple season take part in one of the many harvests and apple picking outings. Do you love sipping a good glass of wine? Well, you have as many as 40 independent wineriess in North Georgia offering tastings and live music. One day may not be enough to explore the region, if you want to stop for the night, there are cozy bed-and-breakfasts and lodges where you can relax after a full day of adventures.
