As a result I have created this free on-line guide - Travel Advisor. This means that all information presented here is based on my personal "have lived, seen, and traveled there experience."

I believe that this approach will provide an unforgettable experience - discovering one of the largest and most ancient countries of Europe. This on-line guide covers a lot more than just the usual attractions suggested to the tourist who visit the country. It gives you opportunity to see this ancient and beautiful country from inside.
