Questions, answered
When is the most generous time to visit?
Late spring and September–October bring harvest light, open high roads, and terrace weather. Winter is for ski villages and sulphur baths; high summer belongs to the Black Sea. Shoulder months reward the unhurried.
Do I need a visa?
Many travellers enter visa-free for a generous stay. Always confirm current entry rules for your passport before you book — then spend the saved hour on a long lunch.
How do I move between regions?
Marshrutka minibuses, comfortable coaches, a handful of trains, and hired drivers cover most ground. Mountain roads ask for daylight and patience. Build slack into every itinerary.
How does the climate pledge work?
Every booking removes 1 tonne of CO2 — no surcharge. It is included, not optional, and never an excuse to travel carelessly. Stay longer; spend locally; tread lightly on alpine meadows.
Is English widely spoken?
In cities and guesthouses, yes — and a few words of Georgian open every door. Look for the script; it is part of the landscape. Menus often arrive in three languages, like this site.
