Bring a debit card and get local currency from an ATM. USD/EUR might be accepted at some hotels maybe but not generally.

Yeah I saw the same disturbing news this week. It’s very sad and I hope it doesn’t represent all of Georgia.

To be honest, from a traveler’s perspective, I don’t think we can expect all countries to be perfect or move at the same speed. Otherwise, half the world would quickly be ‘banned’ for some reason, including some Western ones. I think exposure to different cultures and values is what can slowly bring progress.

Though I would probably be shocked if I were living in Georgia and witnessed the recent events.

It has been rather disturbing watching news where extremist Orthodox priests attacking and beating up journalists and gays with the support of the Church and the ruling mafia.

Hi Tony and Carolyn… it looks like you are on a fantastic journey. I did see on your group about your dog Holly, I’m so sorry to hear. I imagine this puts a real damper on things, though I hope you will still find inspiration wherever you end up going next. I’ll be sure to follow your group

This is Tony and Carolyn.

We are campervanners currently touring Turkey. Thanks for a very interesting site and info on Georgia. We will drive up from Fethiye in a few days, and cross over to Batumi with our dog Holly.

Your information is inspirational, and we are soooo looking forward to being there, and we have no worries about accommodation…lol… ;).

Will be sharing your website on our FB Group…Wheely Living.

Thanks again.

Tony and Carolyn 🙂

I visited in June and loved it (though outside the mountains some days were extremely hot, like 40C).

Try searching flights to Istanbul. Lots of international connections, with only a short hop to Georgia. Otherwise try flying to a European destination that has flights to Tbilisi. There is a list on Wikipedia.
