Georgia is a hidden gem where ancient history meets breathtaking nature—think stone villages clinging to mountain slopes, medieval monasteries perched on cliffs, and wine poured from horns at every feast. It lures adventurous backpackers, wine-loving foodies, and culture seekers drawn to its mix of European and Asian influences. Expect warm hospitality, epic landscapes, and a slower pace where traditions like polyphonic singing and supra feasts feel timeless.
Georgia’s hosting scene is vibrant and welcoming, with locals often eager to share their culture and homemade wine with travelers. The backpacker community is tight-knit, and hosts range from city dwellers in Tbilisi to rural families in the Caucasus mountains, all ready to show off Georgia’s famed hospitality, even on platforms like Sofahop.
Best for: culture seekers, wine lovers, adventure travelers
Visit a local ‘marani’ (wine cellar) in Kakheti for a tasting of Georgia’s unique qvevri wine, fermented in clay vessels buried underground.
Carry small bills in Georgian Lari (GEL) since many rural guesthouses, taxis, and markets don’t accept cards or larger denominations.
Take marshrutkas (minibuses) for cheap, efficient travel between cities, but arrive early to snag a seat and confirm departure times the day before.
