Top Destinations in Georgia

Tbilisi

The capital city is a fascinating mix of old and new, with cobbled streets, sulphur baths, ancient churches, and a booming modern food and nightlife scene. The Old Town area around Narikala Fortress is stunning, and the city’s restaurant scene rivals any European capital at a fraction of the price.

Kazbegi and the Greater Caucasus

The Gergeti Trinity Church perched against the backdrop of Mount Kazbek at 2,170 metres is one of the most iconic sights in the Caucasus. The drive along the Georgian Military Highway from Tbilisi is spectacular. Hiking and trekking in the Greater Caucasus mountains offer world-class experiences.

Wine Region of Kakheti

Georgia is the birthplace of wine, with over 8,000 years of winemaking tradition. The Kakheti region, an hour east of Tbilisi, is home to hundreds of wineries. The traditional qvevri method of making wine in clay vessels underground is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Cost of Living and Travel

Georgia is extraordinarily affordable. A full meal at a restaurant costs 15 to 30 GEL, a litre of excellent local wine 10 to 25 GEL, and a comfortable hotel 80 to 200 GEL per night. The Georgian Lari trades at roughly 3.5 GEL to 1 GBP. Budget travellers can live very comfortably on 20 to 30 pounds per day, making it one of the cheapest destinations accessible from the UK.
