Frequently Asked Questions

  • Georgia has one of the most liberal visa policies in the world. Citizens of over 90 countries—including the USA, EU, UK, GCC, and Canada—can enter Georgia visa-free for up to 365 days. You can live, work, and travel here for a full year without any additional permits. For others, the e-Visa portal is the official way to apply.

  • Yes. As of January 1, 2026, the Georgian government requires all international tourists to have valid health and accident insurance for the duration of their stay. You must be able to present this policy (in English or Georgian) at the border.

    • For Sightseeing: May, June, and September offer the most comfortable temperatures.

    • For Wine Lovers: Late September to October is the Rtveli (Grape Harvest) season.

    • For Mountains/Hiking: July and August are the only months where high-altitude passes like Tusheti are fully open.

    • For Skiing: Late December through March in Gudauri, Bakuriani, or Mestia.

    • Tbilisi: The capital, famous for its Old Town, sulfur baths, and "Leaning Clock Tower."

    • Kazbegi (Stepantsminda): Home to the iconic Gergeti Trinity Church set against Mount Kazbek.

    • Signagi: The "City of Love" in the Kakheti wine region, surrounded by an 18th-century wall.

    • Mestia & Ushguli: Svaneti’s high-mountain retreats known for medieval stone towers.

    • Batumi: The "Las Vegas of the Black Sea," featuring modern architecture and botanical gardens.

  • A 7-day itinerary is enough for the highlights (Tbilisi, Svaneti, Mtskheta, Kazbegi, and Kakheti). However, if you want to explore the Svaneti mountains or the Black Sea coast, we recommend a minimum of 10–14 days due to the mountainous terrain and travel times.

  • Why is Georgia called the "Birthplace of Wine"? Archaeological evidence proves that Georgia has been making wine for over 8,000 years. The traditional Qvevri method (fermenting wine in large underground clay jars) is recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage. You can taste unique varieties like Saperavi (red) and Rkatsiteli (amber) that exist nowhere else.

    • Khinkali: Spiced meat (or cheese/mushroom) dumplings.

    • Adjaruli Khachapuri: The famous boat-shaped cheese bread topped with an egg and butter.

    • Pkhali: Minced vegetable appetizers (spinach, beetroot) with walnut paste.

    • Mtsvadi: Georgian-style BBQ grilled over vine branches.

  • Georgia is consistently ranked among the top 20 safest countries globally. Violent crime is extremely rare. While standard travel precautions apply in crowded areas of Tbilisi, walking alone at night is generally very safe.

  • The currency is the Georgian Lari (GEL). While credit cards (Visa/Mastercard) are accepted in almost every shop, hotel, and restaurants , you must carry cash for mountain regions, local markets, and small guesthouses.

  • The official language is Georgian, which has its own unique 33-letter alphabet. Most young people and those in the tourism industry speak excellent English. Russian is also widely understood by the older generation.

  • Tipping is not mandatory but highly appreciated. Most restaurants add a 10% or 18% service charge to the bill automatically. This is not a tip for the waiter; it goes to the house. If the service was good, leaving an extra 5–10 Gel in cash is standard.

  • In Tbilisi and most mountain regions, yes, the tap water is safe and comes directly from mountain springs. However, in some older coastal areas, we recommend sticking to bottled water or the famous Borjomi mineral water.

  • While most people go to Batumi for the beach, Upper Adjara (Beshumi and Goderdzi) is the new frontier. It features wooden mosques, (summer settlements), and one of Europe's longest zip lines. It’s perfect for those who want a mix of mountain culture and modern adventure.

  • Often called the "Stonehenge of Tbilisi," this massive monument overlooks the Tbilisi Sea. It depicts Georgian kings, queens, and biblical scenes. It is free to enter and offers the best sunset view in the capital, yet it remains relatively uncrowded.

  • The three main providers are Magti, Silknet, and Cellfie (formerly Beeline).
