castle
A fortress in Akhaltsikhe founded in the 9th century and rebuilt wholesale in 2011-12, where a mosque, minaret, Orthodox church and synagogue stand within one set of walls. Controversially over-restored, and undeniably striking.

photogenic
A 123 sq km lake at 1,959m near the Georgian and Armenian borders that freezes solid each winter, when locals run horse-drawn sledges across the ice and pull fish through drilled holes. Bleak and treeless the rest of the year.
