Savannah, Georgia is one of the South’s and the country’s most storied cities. Its history began in 1733 before America even became a nation. The British held Savannah during much of the Revolution, but once it was free, it became a flourishing city. As its wealth increased, so did the output of its citizens. Grand houses and churches were built around the city and many of those remain standing today with careful restoration. There’s no doubt that coming to Savannah feels a bit like walking backwards in time.

As one of our Savannah vacation homes located right next to Forsyth Park, you can easily begin exploring this section of the city first. The park itself is sure to be one of your top spots. Savannah is filled with pleasant green spaces, but Forsyth Park is the largest at around 30 acres. Both visitors and locals alike love to wander the copious walking trails, have a picnic on one of the many lawns or even enjoy a bite at the cafe in the center of the park. If you go around the south end of the park, you’ll run into a few restaurants such as Sandfly BBQ and Local 11 Ten Food and Wine. Another nearby restaurant is Shonuff Seafood.

The next section of Savannah will reveal the Savannah College of Art and Design, the Colonial Park Cemetery and the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, as well as several more squares and parks. At the very north end of Savannah you’ll find the famous River Street.
