Time Traveling at Petra Fortress

#summervacay if you're ever cruising along Georgia’s Black Sea coast, make a stop at Petra Fortress, seriously, this place is like stepping straight into a time machine. It’s perched up on a rocky cliff in the town of Tsikhisdziri, and the views of the sea are just chef’s kiss. The ruins themselves might not be super intact, but you can totally feel the centuries of history oozing from every stone. There’s something super chill about walking through the old stone walls and imagining Roman soldiers once marching around here. The site isn’t huge, but it’s got that peaceful, slightly mysterious vibe that makes it perfect for a quiet afternoon stroll. There are signs explaining the history (bonus points!), and it’s not crowded at all, so you can really take it in without dodging tour groups. Pair it with a visit to the nearby beach or just soak up the sea breeze. A hidden gem that’s totally worth the detour!
