Budget & Tips
Sports enthusiasts or epicureans, Georgia is for you! Whether you're a skier, horseback rider or trekking enthusiast, this country will be your hunting ground. Set your sights on the Greater Caucasus, the Lesser Caucasus or the national parks. Georgia is rich, very rich in terms of sporting opportunities in very different environments. Imagine a country the size of Switzerland, with landscapes as diverse as high mountains, steppes and the Black Sea coastline stretching across a subtropical landscape. You can trek on foot or horseback for one or more weeks. Trek the famous Transcaucasian Trail, a 3,000 km long hiking trail linking the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea via Armenia and Azerbaijan. Cyclists (taking care to avoid traffic) and rafting enthusiasts will also find much to enjoy here. Epicureans can curl up in Tbilisi's baths and hotel spas, or follow the wine route to sample a beverage that, as Georgians claim, was made here several millennia ago.
Your documents please
If you want to rent your own car rather than one with a driver, make sure you have your international driving license (it takes several months to obtain).
To be booked
If you're traveling to Georgia in summer, it's advisable to book your trek or stay well in advance if you're going to use a specialized travel agency. If you're planning to hire a chauffeur-driven vehicle, do the same: they're very busy, and summer marks the peak tourist season. It's also advisable to book your train journeys well in advance.
