If you have Georgia on your mind—as songwriter Hoagy Carmichael wrote—you aren't alone. The state is a popular driving destination, with its contrast of modern cities and smaller quaint towns. Atlanta, in fact, is affectionately called the "little big apple," a reference to its size and statue as the premier city of the South. Georgia offers visitors back-to-nature attractions, beaches, golf courses and historic sites ranging from American Indian burial mounds to Civil War battlegrounds to civil rights monuments.
