Georgia & Tbilisi Guide
The Caucasus' Best-Kept Secret — Wine, Mountains & Ancient History
About This Guide
Your Complete Asia Travel Companion
Georgia is the Caucasus's rising star — an ancient nation with 8,000 years of winemaking history (it invented it), dramatic mountain landscapes, medieval churches perched on cliffs, and Tbilisi's extraordinary Old Town of carved wooden balconies. And it's still largely undiscovered by mass tourism.

Insider Knowledge

Georgia invented wine — drink it everywhere, especially the natural orange wines
Gergeti Trinity Church: Go at dawn before clouds roll in (they always do)
Georgian supra feasts: Accept everything offered — refusing food is rude
Marshrutka minibuses are cheap and authentic — no fixed schedule
Hire a local driver for mountain areas — roads can be challenging

Sulphur baths in Abanotubani: private rooms available, very affordable

Practical Information
Everything You Need to Know
Getting Around
Marshrutka minibuses connect most destinations cheaply. Rent car or hire driver for mountains. Tbilisi metro simple and cheap.
Gergeti Church
Hike 3 hours from Kazbegi village or hire a 4WD. Go in morning before clouds cover the mountains. Dress modestly as it's an active church.
Georgian Hospitality
Georgians are legendary hosts. Tamada (toast master) tradition at feasts (supra) is an art form. Never refuse a toast — it's deeply impolite.
Georgian Cuisine
Khachapuri (cheese bread), khinkali (dumplings — bite then suck the broth), churchkhela, mtsvadi (BBQ), and natural orange wines.
Exceptional Value
One of Europe's cheapest destinations. Meals €3–8. Excellent wine €3–6 a bottle. Tbilisi accommodation €30–60 for good quality.
Practical Tips
No visa required for most Western nationalities. Cash preferred in smaller towns. Georgian script is unique — download translation app.
