Georgia Town Named The 'Most Underrated' In The State

You don't have to go to a big city to find big thrills. Some of the most interesting and unique attractions are often hidden away outside of the warn path in smaller towns waiting to be explored.

Cheapsim search around the country for the towns that are often overlooked, the destinations that are just as worth exploring as the big cities that draw in more tourists. To determine the list, the site "took into account towns with a range of attractive offerings, including cultural attractions, outdoor activities, great dining and shopping options, low cost of living, and high quality of life, among other factors."

According to the site, the most underrated town in Georgia is Athens, which is a beautiful snapshot of what the Peach State has to offer. Here's what the site had to say about the most overlooked town in Georgia:

"Athens is conveniently close to Atlanta, but far enough away to avoid the gravitational pull of the capital city's culture. The climate is forgiving, particularly by Georgia standards. That, combined with its world-class regional medical facilities, draws retirees from far and wide — but Athens is a college town at heart."
