General presentation

Savannah et côte de Géorgie

Town of shady squares, historic houses, river, islands-barriers and very marked southern atmosphere.

Savannah and the Georgian coast are located around Savannah Historic District, Forsyth Park and Tybee Island. The stay thus alternates between urban life, the coastline, heritage and riverscapes, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

See all

For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. To anticipate also: humid heat and sensitive history. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting

A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.

Historical centre

Savannah Historic District

4.8 / 5· Hidengo2 hrs to half a day

Savannah Historic District organizes the city in networks of squares, elegant facades and alignments of Spanish mousse covered trees. As we move from place to place, we understand the logic of a garden-city: the large public space is in fact very intimate, almost residential. This structure gives a slow and very visual tempo to the center.

Urban park

Forsyth Park

4.6 / 5· Hidengo45 minutes at 1:30 a.m.

Forsyth Park is a green breath immediately legible, with its fountain, its dark alleys and a neighborhood sociability that contrasts with the historic heart. You can see the Savannah daily without leaving the iconography of the city. The walk walks between local uses and peaceful architecture.

Sea-going island

Tybee Island

4.3 / 5· Hidengo2 hrs to half a day

Tybee Island provides a coastal variant to Savannah, with lighthouse, jetty and wide sand in easy access. In a few hours, the stay changes scale: from the historic route to a more open, horizontal setting. The place gives a coastal breath useful to feel the entire Georgian coastline.

Historical Cemetery

Bonaventure Cemetery

4.6 / 5· Hidengo1-2 hours

Bonaventure Cemetery imposes a laid atmosphere, almost literary, without resorting to spectacular folklore. The alleys between statues and oaks give a very marked visual depth near the river. The experience is more sensitive than a simple passage: each detour turns silence into a city and memory reading.
