so no one would fool you neither at borderlines nor airports Transportation for transportation within cities,
transportation in georgia
you can use public ones as metro, buses and etc… by using ‘Google maps’ app
enter from where to where you want to go,Traveling in georgia Georgia guide.
and it’ll immediately give you how to go with easiest and best method In general,
transportation is very cheap but if you want to use Taxi you can use an app called ‘Bolt” .
it’s similar to ‘Careem’ and ‘Uber’ apps,
but it is used more in Georgia it’ll offer you an excellent service with a better price than normal Taxis for transportation between cities,
you might use either trains or buses if you want to use a train,
go to ‘TKT.GE’ website and book your tickets and it’s much better to book them early because they run out quickly or you can use ‘marshrutka’.
which are the public buses that goes around most of the cites in Georgia,
but its problem for long distances it’s not very comfortable in contrast,
if you love traveling by the cheapest ways ,
you can go hitchhiking because it is one of the easiest ways in Georgia To move around by hitchhiking,

that you should know which are Khinkali and Khachapuri Khachapuri is cheese bread ,

by the locals’ perspective also,
it’s important to go to Narikala Fortress during sunset whether by a cable car or walking when you reach the top,

you may go to Kazbegi for two days or more depending on the time you have Kazbegi is one of prettiest cities,
for hiking with the view on Caucasus Mountains on the road towards it you’d pass by ‘Gudauri’ see the Russia-Georgia ،

you should go to ‘Gergeti Trinity Church’ “after almost 40 minutes” “we went from that village”
“on our way to the mountain for Gergeti Trinity Church” “when you arrive here, you’re able to view the whole city” .
there are a lot of hiking trails you can join it from Kazbegi if you like nature walks such as,
the trail to Gveleti Waterfall or Leghvtakhevi Waterfall after spending two days in Kazbegi ,
you can go and spend a day in Borjomi،
It’s a more simple city for families among other cities the significant thing in this city is the public park where you can find a cable car,
children play area a forest to walk in till you arrive for a Sulfur water pool you can swim in.
“and i forgot the cost” after Borjomi, you can go towards the west to Kutaisi ,
It’s a nice and quiet city you can spend two days and visit near places like Martvili canyon,
it’s a natural place where you see river across two mountains nice nature and small waterfalls
and have a river tour by a boat “the nature’s colors are amazing” .
“unfortunately, today the water level is high” “so we won’t be able to have a tour by the boat”
“it seems really cool” at the same day,
you can visit Okatse Canyon it’s also a natural place it has a fantastic view on some green mountains ,georgia travels
it deserves to go see and walk by the nature there the second day, georgia travels

“this also an option for you to do” the two caves entrance cost 3$ only after Kutaisi,
you can go to Svaneti honestly, I didn’t go there, but went to somewhere similar called Tusheti ,
which I’ll talk about later Svaneti is a very important historical region in Georgia.
it has villages where there are a lot of castles it’s more likely to be a painting not reality you’ll really enjoy the nature there,
if you’re passionate about adventures and hiking trails,georgia travels
you can join one of them in Svaneti region the most important one is to walk for 4 days
between the cities Mestia and Ushguli .
everyday you camp and rest in a new village after these two days in Svaneti ,
or if you stayed more you can go to Batumi, located on the coast of the Black Sea,
very known for being Las Vegas in Georgia but it also has some fun activities to do like swimming on the coast of the Black Sea,

one of the enjoyable things to do in Batumi is riding a cable car located on Anuria Mountain.
where you’ll see a panoramic view of Batumi city “this place can almost view the whole city” georgia travels.
now after you finish your trip in Georgia you can use a train, which is more comfortable than a bus
and go back to Tbilisi to continue your trip Tusheti region however,
if you’re passionate about adventures, challenges and 4×4 cars in particular one of the most important places to visit is
especially by a 4×4 rental car is Tusheti region The road towards it opens only from June to October georgia travels.
it’s one of the most dangerous and beautiful roads to have a ride on the public transportation to this region
is somehow difficult that’s why I’m not going to adress it personally,
i used hitchhiking and it was easier for me than the public methods my trip was for 3 days I camped on the mountains there ,
there are multiple mountain villages and a lot of castles .
similar to Svaneti region and if you enjoy hiking, the road between villages there is just like heaven ,
some people spend from 3 to 4 days walking this road on foot Mobile Networks and Internet for internet.
there are some companies that exist in Georgia the cheapest one is ‘Beeline’
but the best is ‘Geocell’ or ‘Magti’ to buy internet and calls packages,
you’ll pay almost 5-20$ depending on the mobile network operator and the bundle you choose.
“this was actually the fastest and easiest way to buy a SIM card” “in 5 minutes,
I paid and got my SIM card with 30 GB” “almost in 10$” Overnights for accommodation,
all types are available and reasonable in Georgia starting from camping that is allowed almost everywhere in this country,
hostels which may cost 4$ per night my favorite one I stayed in,
in Tbilisi was called ‘Fabrica’ this hostel costs 6$ per night for a room with 12 beds and breakfast not included BUT
I advice you to try the breakfast there at least for one time although it’s a little expensive that costs 8$ ,
but it deserves so it’s a 5-star breakfast and better than some of the real 5 star hotels.
all in 8$ even if you won’t stay in this hostel, I advice you to go in the morning and try their breakfast however,
for hotels, hosting houses and rooms,georgia travels
that you can rent from various websites like Airbnb you’ll easily find rooms for 15$ or less per night ,
An additional travel plan if you liked travelling and want to continue travelling Georgia .
you have really good two options either to Armenia or Azerbaijan during your trip the two countries are very nice and fun to travel
include the ways you can use to go Azerbaijan by the train or Armenia by the bus for those who’re interested, I’m done with all the information.georgia travels.
