Portugal is a country of remarkable beauty, rich history, warm people, vibrant culture, and timeless hospitality. Located at the westernmost edge of Europe on the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula, it has in recent years become a favorite destination for Georgian travelers. Today, we turn to a small yet enchanting town on the Portuguese Riviera: Cascais. Once a fishing village, it was transformed in the late 1800s when the King of Portugal made it his summer retreat. Soon after, elegant palaces were built, a historic town center emerged, and Cascais became one of the country’s most iconic destinations.
