🇬🇪 Georgia: how to spend several weeks without needless expense
For a stay of several weeks, judge the neighbourhood through an ordinary day: groceries, the evening journey home, and travel time to the places you actually need. These details matter more than a photogenic window view.

Transport and real travel times
Mountain roads depend on season and weather; for Kazbegi, Svaneti, or Tusheti, check road conditions and the driver's experience.
How to move around without wasting time
Marshrutkas are economical but awkward with luggage, while the Tbilisi-Batumi train suits travellers who value a predictable transfer.
Georgia: a defining view of the destination
One useful local detail
Khinkali are eaten by hand, but venue turnover and regional specialisation matter more than perfect technique.
Georgia: waterfronts and waterways
Where to discover local cooking
A supra led by a tamada is a cultural structure, not a tourist show; listen to the toast, avoid interrupting, and do not compete over wine.
Where to base yourself for several weeks
Tbilisi is best read through balconies, sulphur baths, courtyards, and hills rather than one main avenue; comfortable shoes are essential.
What matters during an ordinary week
Summer Batumi and autumn Kakheti move differently from the capital; one short weekend cannot represent Georgia.
