Tips

If you wish to extend your stay, consider adding two extra days to explore the spa town of Borjomi and the spectacular cave monastery of Vardzia in southern Georgia. Conversely, you can shorten the trip by skipping the Kazbegi mountain excursion and focusing solely on Tbilisi and the Kakheti wine region, which still provides a rich cultural and culinary experience.
