Georgia is a small country with a well-connected road network, making it easy to travel by car or minibus. However, traffic can be congested in cities like Tbilisi and Batumi, so plan accordingly. Domestic flights are available but relatively expensive, while trains are slower but offer scenic routes. Expect to spend around 100 GEL per day on transportation.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Davit Gareja cave complex, the Vashlovani National Park or the Black Sea resort of Gonio. If you have less time, skip Signagi or Kutaisi and spend more time in Tbilisi for its museums and cultural events. Keep in mind that many restaurants and shops are closed on Sundays, and cash is widely used instead of credit cards.

It offers direct flights to major European and Middle Eastern cities, as well as domestic flights to Batumi, Kutaisi, and Mestia.
