Caucasus mountains, ancient monasteries and some of the world's oldest winemaking — surprisingly affordable.

🗓️ When to go
May to October; June to September for the high mountains like Kazbegi and Svaneti.
🚕 Getting around
Bolt for taxis in Tbilisi, marshrutka minibuses between towns, and hired drivers for mountain roads.
💡 Local tips
- Try khachapuri and khinkali — eat khinkali by hand and leave the top knot.
- The Tbilisi metro is cheap and fast; pay with a contactless card or Metromoney card.
- Supra feasts come with long toasts — pace yourself with the wine.
😅 What we wish we'd known
- Mountain roads can close in bad weather even in shoulder season.
- Cash is still king outside Tbilisi and Batumi.
Places worth the detour
- Kazbegi & Tbilisi — The Gergeti Trinity Church framed by snowcapped Mount Kazbek, three hours from Tbilisi's sulphur baths and wine bars.
