Georgia
Gems
The following is a list of the most recent AAA Gems in Georgia. These are tourist destinations that have AAA's highest recommendation. It's hard to go wrong when choosing to visit a Gem. Unfortunately, there is no longer an index list of Gems in AAA Tourbooks which is why this list was created.
