Bonus points: If you're feeling fancy, consider flying into Batumi, a beautiful coastal city known as the "Las Vegas of the Black Sea" (minus the questionable wedding chapels, hopefully).

Packing for All Seasons (Almost)

Georgia boasts four distinct seasons, so pack accordingly. Summers are warm and sunny, perfect for exploring the charming towns and hitting the beach in Batumi. Winters can get chilly, especially in the mountains, so pack some thermals and a good snow jacket. Spring and autumn are comfortable with mild temperatures, making them ideal times to visit for outdoor activities.

What NOT to Pack: A headscarf is not mandatory for women in Georgia, so pack light and breezy for those hot summer days.

How to Get Around Once You're There:

  • Marshrutkas: These minivans are a budget-friendly way to travel between towns and cities. Just be prepared for some, ahem, "spirited" driving!
  • Domestic Flights: For longer distances or if you're short on time, consider domestic flights.
  • Taxis: Taxis are readily available in most major cities. Haggling is expected, so put on your best negotiating face.

Remember: Renting a car can be a great option, especially if you're planning on exploring the more remote areas. Just make sure you have an international driver's license.
