How about a bit
of history and information? Savannah, Georgia's First City, sits like a jewel
just across the broad Savannah River. Historic 18th century garden squares,
gourmet restaurants, antique shops and boutiques beckon by day and night. Just a
few minutes away, the wide beaches of Tybee Island vie for attention with the
world-famous attractions of Hilton Head Island. Savannah. The name conjures
images of nights redolent with honeysuckle, warm breezes and the glint of
moonlight over the sweeping river and marsh. History, tradition, courtesy and
hospitality are at the heart of our Southern culture.
The first to be seduced by this saucy siren was her founder General James Edward
Oglethorpe. Oglethorpe and the 120 travelers of the good ship "Anne" landed on a
bluff high along the Savannah River in February 1733, Oglethorpe named the
Thirteenth and final American colony Georgia, after England's King George II and
Savannah became its first city. Oglethorpe laid the city out in a series of
grids that allowed for wide open streets intertwined with shady public squares
and parks. Today, the Historic District is a 2.5 mile walking district full of
bistros, quaint shops, green squares and grand architecture. General
Oglethorpe's vision of southern hospitality and a genteel way of life is still
alive in the faces of those who call Savannah home.
In the Historic District, the cobblestones that line River Street are ready for
visitors to explore the candy shops, art galleries and a number of
nautical-themed apparel and gift stores. Move a couple of blocks south from
River Street to City Market where art studios, galleries and specialty shops
fill the two-block space. Discover Broughton and Bull streets, the heart of
Savannah's antique district, where treasures of old are awaiting your
unearthing.
Visitors will fall in love with Savannah and will be anxious to tell their
friends about our unique hidden gem of the Southeastern coast. Come and fall in
love with the city's hospitality and savor its quirky personality. Our city
allows to experience the history, wonder, elegance and mannerisms of the Old
South and the beauty and grace it reveals today.
Savannah's historic waterfront is lined with more than 100 unique shops and
galleries, fabulous restaurants, seductive nightspots, and elegant inns and
hotels. Our site includes a schedule of events, and a list of shops and
services.
