Planning a 10 day Georgia itinerary can feel a bit like trying to fit a mountain into a backpack. You know there’s so much beauty, culture, and adventure waiting for you, but figuring out how to squeeze the best bits into such a short time is where the real challenge lies.

I get it. The thought of landing in Georgia, with its rich history and culture, only to spend your days confused or lost isn’t exactly appealing.

Don’t worry, you’re in the right place! I’ve been traveling solo for 15 years, and I’ve gotten pretty good at planning epic itineraries to squeeze the most out of every trip.

Georgia’s been on my radar for a while, and with a little help from the Georgia Tourism Board and Traverse, I created this travel itinerary for Georgia that’s as packed with action as it is with those chill, soak-it-all-in moments.

This isn’t just another Georgia travel guide. It’s the result of my obsession with making the most out of every trip, tailored to help you experience Georgia in the best way possible.

So, if you’re looking to dive into Georgia headfirst, wanting to catch all the highlights and hidden spots without the headache of planning, you’re in the right place. Here’s where to go, what to see, and how to move around efficiently.

My time in Georgia was partly sponsored by the Georgia National Tourism Administration as an attendee of the Traverse conference in Tbilisi. As always, all opinions are my own.

10 Day Georgia Itinerary

Day 1 & 2: Tbilisi

A view of the city of Tbilisi from the top of a hill.

Tbilisi has been on my radar for some time now as a digital nomad destination, and it did not disappoint.

From the moment I stepped into its vibrant streets, I fell in love. This short taste of Tbilisi definitely made me want to come back and live for a while.

As the capital city and major entry point for international travelers, it makes sense to start your 10 day Georgia itinerary in Tbilisi. Check out my video below for an introduction to this magical city.

Explore the Old Town

Walking through the cobblestone streets of Tbilisi’s Old Town feels like stepping back in time. The colorful houses, ancient churches, and bustling squares are the perfect introduction to the city.

One of the best ways to start your Georgia country itinerary is with a walking tour in Tbilisi, where you’ll get acquainted with the rich history and discover hidden gems.

🚶‍♀️This highly-rated private walking tour takes you to explore the scenic streets of old Tbilisi, sample wine, and ride the cable car!

Narikala Fortress & Mother of Georgia

Take the cable car up to these iconic landmarks. The views of Tbilisi from Narikala are unmatched. This is also a great place to fly your drone if you’re traveling with one – the Mother of Georgia looks a lot better from that perspective.

If you’re up for a bit of thrill, ziplining over the botanical gardens is a unique things to do in Tbilisi. It’s just one zipline, but for a few dollars, it’s a lot of fun. I’ve never been on a zipline where they let you take your bags!

Sulfur Baths

After a day of exploring, there’s no better way to unwind than at one of Tbilisi’s famous sulfur baths.

Nestled in the heart of the Old Town, these baths are not just a place to relax but a dive into Georgian tradition.

We visited this historic bathhouse with a stunning blue mosaic on the exterior. While this area is full of bathhouses, these ones are particularly aesthetic and very clean on the inside.

Deciding to dive deeper into the local customs, I opted for a traditional scrub. It was an intense experience (rougher than the baths I had while living in Istanbul), but afterward, I felt incredibly clean.

Craft Breweries and Wine Bars

Georgia’s wine culture is legendary, and Tbilisi’s craft beer scene is on the rise. Spend your evening hopping between cozy wine bars and trendy breweries. It’s a fantastic way to taste the local flavors and mingle with locals and travelers.

As I was visiting Tbilisi during Traverse (one of my favorite travel blogging conferences), we had a lot of fun nights out bar-hopping until the early hours of the morning. On a Sunday night, we went to a packed club at 2 am, which shows how alive Tbilisi’s nightlife is, even during winter.

If you’re looking for a fun night out – check out this Tbilisi bar crawl. Taste Georgian wine and traditional snacks at a wine bar, visit three bars, and finish the night out with dancing at a nightclub.

Georgian Cuisine

No Georgia travel itinerary would be complete without indulging in the local cuisine. We had an unforgettable dinner at Ethnographer Restaurant for the conference closing party.

This extravagant restaurant is a full-on experience, with traditional Georgian dances while you dine on a multi-course Georgian feast.

Another gem is Barbarestan, where the menu is inspired by a centuries-old cookbook found by the owner. The dishes here are a testament to Georgia’s culinary heritage, each paired with exquisite local wine.

These restaurants are beyond just a meal; it’s an introduction to Georgian hospitality at its finest.

These first two days in Tbilisi are just the beginning of your Georgia road trip itinerary.

Day 3: Day Trip to Mtskheta

On the third day of your itinerary in Georgia, head out for your first Tbilisi trip to dive into the historical Mtskheta region.

Mtskheta, the old capital of Georgia, showcases the country’s rich history and cultural heritage, recognized by UNESCO for its historical significance.

Jvari Monastery

Start your day with a visit to the Jvari Monastery, strategically perched on a hill overlooking the confluence of the Aragvi and Mtkvari rivers.

The view from here is unparalleled, providing a stunning panorama of the rivers’ intertwining paths and the ancient city of Mtskheta below.

The monastery, dating back to the 6th century, is a cornerstone of Georgian Christianity and offers a serene atmosphere for reflection on the country’s religious history.

After visiting Jvari, make your way down to Mtskheta. This ancient city is a living museum, home to pivotal historical landmarks.

The Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, notable as the burial site of Christ’s mantle, is an architectural marvel that dominates the town’s skyline.

Walking through Mtskheta’s old streets, you’ll feel the layers of history that this town embodies.

Choose a lunch spot that boasts views of the rivers. The region’s traditional Georgian cuisine, with dishes like khinkali (dumplings), tastes even better when accompanied by such picturesque scenery. We ate at Kera, which was a wonderful dining experience in Georgia.

Day 4: Kakheti & Signali

Day four of my Georgia itinerary was an amazing day into the heart of Georgian wine culture with a fully-indulgent, all-inclusive food and wine tour with Eat This! If you’re looking to do a wine tour in Georgia, I cannot say enough good things about this company.

Our first stop was at Giuaani, a high-class vineyard and restaurant with a beautiful exterior.

The fusion of traditional qvevri winemaking methods with European styles using Georgian grapes offered a fascinating insight into the versatility and depth of Georgian wine.

After getting a tour of the wine cellar to see how it’s made, we returned to the restaurant for a 6-course wine pairing lunch, meticulously prepared by the in-house chef.

Presenting elevated, modern Georgian cuisine, each dish was better than the last, perfectly complemented by the vineyard’s exquisite wines.

Sighnaghi

The next stop on the tour took us through the cobbled streets of the picturesque mountain village of Sighnaghi. After stopping to take in the views from above on the road, we headed into the Old Town to walk inside the city walls.

Walking along the Sinhnagi fortress offered awe-inspiring views of the Alazani valley and the snow-capped Caucasus mountains beyond.

Our second wine tasting was an intimate experience at Kerovani Winery, an artisan winemaker in Sighnaghi who produces less than 10,000 bottles a year.

We got to learn about their wine production and taste his exceptional small-batch natural qvevri inside their family home. This experience was a deep dive into Georgia’s 8,000-year winemaking history, one of the oldest in the world.

The day culminated in a dinner and a supra at a local family home.

This Georgian family feast, complete with unique homemade artisan wines and some of the best food I had on the trip, introduced us to the culture of the tamada (toastmaster).

More than just a meal, the supra was a celebration of Georgian life, its traditions, and the communal joy of sharing food and wine.

We had such a fun time, and at the end of the night, the grandfather played some incredible tunes on the piano.

If you book this tour, the family you visit may be different depending on availability, but what’s guaranteed is warm Georgian hospitality.

Day 5: Kazbegi

Day five of this Georgia itinerary takes you to Kazbegi, a destination that encapsulates the raw beauty of the Georgian landscape.

While the drive to Kazbegi is long, about four hours in total from Tbilisi, the experience is unparalleled, offering a glimpse into the rugged heart of the Caucasus mountains.

Embarking early, we knew that doing Kazbegi as a day trip was a stretch, but the allure of the mountains was too strong to resist.

If you have more time, consider an overnight stay or even a few nights in the area, perhaps combining it with skiing in Gudauri.

The journey itself became part of the adventure, with stops to take in breathtaking views of a serene lake and the iconic Georgia-Russia Friendship Monument, which offers panoramic vistas of the mountain ranges.

Our lunch stop at Rooms Hotel Kazbegi was an experience in itself, indulging in delicious Georgian cuisine with the backdrop of the towering Caucasus. I’d love to come back and stay at this hotel overnight!

The culmination of our journey was the arrival in Kazbegi, home to the Gergeti Trinity Church. This beautiful monastery, set against the dramatic backdrop of the mountains, looks like something out of a fairytale.

The sight of it, perched high above the surrounding landscape, with the majestic peaks of the Caucasus behind it, was a moment of awe. The effort of the journey faded away, replaced by the tranquility and beauty of this sacred place.

Kazbegi, with its natural beauty and the spiritual presence of the Gergeti Trinity Church, was a highlight of my Georgia travel itinerary.

However, given the travel time, I’d advise staying in the area longer than a day to fully embrace and explore the stunning landscapes and outdoor activities available.

Day 6: Journey to Mestia

Day six of my Georgia itinerary brought us to one of the most adventurous parts of the trip: the journey to Mestia, in the heart of the Svaneti region.

This leg of the trip, especially during winter, was an intense experience that showcased the rugged beauty and challenges of traveling in Georgia.

We left from Tbilisi, facing what is typically a 10-hour drive. However, winter travel in Georgia can be quite unpredictable, and our journey was heightened by a winter storm that presented us with the formidable power of nature, including close calls with avalanches.

I would recommend anyone considering this drive in winter to thoroughly check the weather forecast ahead of time.

For those looking to avoid the lengthy drive, there’s an alternative: flights from Tbilisi to Mestia via Vanilla Sky Airlines. Opting for a flight can significantly reduce travel time, allowing you to spend more time exploring the stunning Svaneti region without the exhaustion of a long road trip.

Despite the challenges of getting there, the region is undoubtedly worth the visit.

Mestia is a gateway to the majestic Caucasus Mountains, offering a glimpse into ancient cultures, breathtaking natural beauty, and a sense of tranquility that’s hard to find elsewhere.

🏩 Hotel Posta is the perfect base to explore Mestia, centrally located in town and walkable to many points of interest. Plus, there’s a spa inside to relax after a day of exploring!

Day 7: Exploring Mestia

Spend your first day in Mestia, immersing in the rich culture and breathtaking landscapes of the Svaneti region.

Mestia, with its towering peaks and ancient traditions, offers a unique glimpse into a way of life that has been preserved for centuries.

Svaneti Museum of History and Ethnography

Start your day with a visit to the Svaneti Museum of History and Ethnography, a must-do to truly appreciate the depth of history and culture in this region.

The museum houses an impressive collection that narrates the story of the Svan people, their ancient traditions, and the rugged landscape they call home. It was a fascinating introduction to the day, providing context and depth to our exploration of Mestia.

Cooking Class

One of the highlights of my time in Mestia was taking a cooking class masterclass held in a local’s home in a nearby village.

Here, we had the opportunity to help prepare several traditional Georgian dishes, including the best meat pie I had on my Georgia trip.

Of course, the lunch evolved into a mini supra, where stories were shared, and laughter filled the room, accompanied by the incredible food we had helped prepare.

If you’re interested in this experience, you can contact the family here to book the cooking masterclass.

Walk Around Mestia

A snowy town with buildings and mountains.

Wandering the streets of Mestia later, we stumbled upon a street party, a vibrant display of Georgia’s fun-loving culture. Even in the dead of winter, the locals were celebrating someone’s birthday, complete with an ice bar set up right on the street.

The party had been going on for two days, and in true Georgian fashion, we were immediately offered wine and invited to join the festivities.

This spontaneous celebration was a perfect example of the joyous spirit that pervades Georgia, a place where strangers are quickly welcomed as friends.

Day 8: Ushguli

An aerial view of a village covered in snow.

One of the best day trips from Mestia is to Ushguli, Europe’s highest and oldest continually inhabited settlement.

The road to Ushguli is as dramatic as the destination itself. Winding through the mountains, each turn presented a new view more stunning than the last.

The Tower of Love, a famous landmark along the way, offered a perfect spot for reflection and photos. There’s a story behind the tower, steeped in local legend and romance.

Arriving in Ushguli, the beauty of the village was overwhelming. Its collection of medieval towers, set against the majestic backdrop of the mountains.

We spent the day wandering through the village, exploring the ancient church, and soaking in the atmosphere of this remarkable place. The church, perched on a hill, provides panoramic views of the village and the surrounding mountains.

Although I will warn you, it looks closer than it is! I spent an hour walking here from town, mainly due to the amount of snow.

Lunch was an opportunity to sample some local Svan cuisine, which was hearty, flavorful, and made with love.

✔️ Reaching this remote area on your own can be a challenge. Skip the hassle of arranging transportation with this private tour from Mestia. 

For those visiting in the summer, a multi-day hike from Mestia to Ushguli comes highly recommended.

This trek, taking in some of the most stunning landscapes in the Caucasus, is a fantastic way to experience the beauty of the region up close. While we didn’t have the opportunity to do this hike, it’s on my list for a return visit.

Day 9: Ski Resort and Spa

If you’re visiting Mestia during winter, visiting the nearby ski village is a must on your itinerary.

From Mestia, a convenient chairlift can whisk you up to the ski slopes, making access to the winter sports facilities seamless.

However, we opted to drive, allowing us the flexibility to split our day between hitting the slopes and unwinding in a unique way.

Ski Resort Tetnuldi

The Ski Resort Tetnuldi near Mestia is a winter wonderland, offering pristine slopes for both beginners and experienced skiers alike. You can rent ski gear there.

Even if you don’t ski, it’s worth taking the cable car up to the top of the mountains for the views.

At the top, there’s a fantastic restaurant called Zuruldi, where you can enjoy Georgian cuisine and watch the skiers and snowboarders go down the slopes from the comfort of the balcony.

Papa’s Gel

After a a morning of skiing, we retreated to Papa’s Gel which is a cabin nestled in the woods. The cabin, complete with an outdoor hot tub and sauna, is the epitome of winter relaxation.

Soaking in the hot tub, surrounded by snow-covered trees, was an incredible way to relax and rejuvenate. The contrast of the hot water with the cold air was invigorating, and yes, we were so warmed up by the hot tub that we dared to jump into the snow afterward!

It was a morning of pure joy and fun, a must-do for anyone visiting the area in winter.

For those planning a visit, this mix of skiing and relaxation offers a perfect day out in the Georgian mountains. The ski village near Mestia provides all you need for a day on the slopes, while the cabin experience offers a unique way to unwind and enjoy the winter landscape.

If you’re visiting outside of winter, replace these activities with a day hike from Mestia.

Day 10: Return to Tbilisi

For those short on time or looking for convenience, flying back to Tbilisi is a swift way to transition back into the city’s vibrant life. Alternatively, the bus journey offers one last opportunity to soak in Georgia’s stunning landscapes.

Whichever option you choose, it’s worth considering how you want to conclude your journey and what fits best with your schedule and preferences.

If you find yourself with some time before your flight or departure, I recommend taking one last stroll around Tbilisi. The city is full of viewpoints that offer breathtaking panoramas, perfect for a moment of reflection on your trip.

Alternatively, enjoying a meal at one of Tbilisi’s many restaurants is a great way to say farewell.

Best Time to Visit Georgia

The best time to visit Georgia largely depends on what you want to do. For wine tasting in Kakheti and enjoying the vibrant Tbilisi nightlife, the shoulder months of May-June and September-October offer pleasant weather without the peak summer crowds.

For those interested in outdoor activities, the seasons dictate the possibilities. Skiing in Gudauri is best from December to March when the mountains are blanketed in snow. Conversely, hiking in the Caucasus Mountains and exploring the serene beauty of nature is ideal from late spring to early fall, when the weather is warm and the landscapes are at their most vibrant.

Weather conditions in Georgia can vary significantly from region to region. The coastal area around Batumi enjoys a humid subtropical climate with warm summers and mild winters, while the mountainous regions can be quite cold in winter, perfect for skiing but requiring appropriate preparation for those looking to hike or explore the outdoors.

Getting Around Georgia

Exploring Georgia involves navigating a landscape as diverse as its cultural heritage. Here’s a guide on how to get around Georgia, with options for all budgets.

Public Transportation:

  • Buses and Marshrutkas: Intercity travel is well-served by buses and marshrutkas (minibusses), connecting major cities and towns. While marshrutkas offer a real taste of local life (chacha will definitely be involved), they can be quite packed and don’t follow a strict schedule.
  • Trains: The train network in Georgia provides a scenic route between key destinations like Tbilisi, Batumi, and Kutaisi. It’s a leisurely way to travel, perfect for those who want to soak in the Georgian landscape without the rush.

Private Transportation:

  • Car Rental: Renting a car is the way to go for the ultimate freedom to explore Georgia’s nooks and crannies, from its mountainous terrains to serene vineyards. Be mindful of the driving conditions, especially in less accessible areas or during winter.

🚗 I use and love discover cars to find the best rates on car rentals worldwide!

  • Private Driver: Hiring a private driver for day trips or longer excursions can be surprisingly affordable, especially when costs are shared within a group. This option not only provides comfort and flexibility but also the local insight of your driver.

Flying

  • Domestic Flights: To save on travel time, consider domestic flights for longer distances, such as between Tbilisi and Batumi. Vanilla Sky Airlines also connects Tbilisi with more remote destinations like Mestia, turning a long road journey into a short flight.

Tours:
