The ÔPeach StateÕ as Georgia is affectionately known, has everything and more that a visitor is looking for in a holiday to the USA.

There is high class shopping, dining, entertainment and the arts in the Atlanta Metro region, unspoilt beaches and water sports along the Atlantic Ocean, and classic touring in colonial Savannah and GeorgiaÕs historic South. Add to this GeorgiaÕs beautiful mountains and rivers, which open up a whole range of outdoor pursuits and historic trails, and you begin to understand why the state is known as the ÔGateway to the SouthÕ.

The many state parks offer championship golf, hiking, biking, canoeing and white water rafting, as well as a host of routes that link interests from Civil War battlefields to bird watching.

Georgia is the largest US state east of the Mississippi, yet from its north to south borders it is only 315 miles long, which means everything is within relatively easy driving distance. The state is so centrally located that GeorgiaÕs capital city, Atlanta, is the natural gateway to the whole of the southern US, with most of this huge region an approximate one hourÕs flying time away.
