Known as the Peach Tree State, Georgia exudes Southern charm and character with antebellum homes, manicured gardens, cherry and peach tree blossom, music and wonderful hospitality. Atlanta is a thriving city in itself as well as being the main gateway to the Deep South. Scenic back roads offer access to Georgia’s history in towns such as Athens, Macon and Dahlonega, as well as Savannah, and will take you through the rural countryside. The state played an important role in both the Civil War and Civil Rights movement and you will find references to this throughout your travels.
