8 Georgia Vacation Ideas

1. Savannah

Among Georgia vacations, it doesn’t get more charming than Savannah. That hanging Spanish moss, historic cobblestone streets, and friendly people you’ve heard all about?

That’s exactly what Savannah is like. And it’s great for either a week trip with the family or a romantic weekend that starts with a trolley ride through old city streets. It’s a real-life fairytale of a city.

2. Golden Isles

Georgia has a surprising number of fantastic beaches that trend more toward laid-back than touristy. Two of the most popular spots are St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island, which offer accommodations ranging from luxurious clubs to off-the-beaten-path bungalows.

Jekyll Island’s Driftwood Beach is a must-see, dotted with ancient trees and frequently named one of the country’s most romantic spots. But no matter where you stay, experiencing a quiet sunset while walking on a quiet Georgia beach will make your trip unforgettable.

3. Athens

Athens is very much a college town — it’s home to the University of Georgia — but it also has all the hallmarks that make Georgia vacations unique. It’s artsy and creative, with a robust live music scene and excellent restaurants.

There are also some good options for outdoor fun, including fishing and kayaking at the Oconee Rivers Greenway, the lovely State Botanical Garden of Georgia, and biking on the popular Firefly Trail.

4. Blue Ridge

There are many Georgia vacations that can take you to the state’s many miles of mountains, but Blue Ridge is especially gorgeous. There are numerous mountain cabins set amongst fruit orchards but also modern restaurants and boutiques throughout Main Street. It’s a hiker’s dream as well, with picture-perfect waterfalls amongst lush Georgia hills and tall forests.

5. Atlanta

Georgia’s capital is the definition of the modern South with so many attractions that it may take several Georgia vacations to see it all. The offerings include the World of Coca-Cola, Zoo Atlanta, the Fernbank Museum of Natural History, and the High Museum of Art.

There are also several unique Atlanta neighbors to explore, including the sophisticated Buckhead Village to the family-friendly Virginia-Highland.

6. Providence Canyon State Park

There’s a mini–Grand Canyon in the Peach State. At Providence Canyon State Park, red canyons pop within the west Georgia forest and you can marvel at most of the canyons through the 2 ½-mile Canyon Loop Trail. The park also features 10 miles of trails that all start at the park’s visitors center.

7. Helen

If you’re looking for Georgia vacations heavy on the quirk, check out the German-centric Helen that’s modeled after a quaint Bavarian town and set along the Chattahoochee River. Visitors can wander through the town and its 200 shops and restaurants, ranging from Southern to German.

It’s also a great place for outdoor sports, especially fishing for trout at Unicoi State Park. Unicoi also provides access to the Chattahoochee National Forest and Anna Ruby Falls.

8. Etowah Indian Mounds

This 50-acre archaeological site is where American Indians lived in what’s now Bartow County from 1000 to 1550 A.D. The site showcases the six mounds that these ancestors of the Muscogee once called home, as well as a plaza and borrow pits. An onsite museum displays artifacts found at the site as well as information on the rich South Appalachian Mississippian ancient culture.
