This multi-day journey takes you across Georgia from the capital Tbilisi all the way to the Black Sea coast in Batumi. Along the way you'll pass through the historical city of Gori, the famous spa resort of Borjomi, and the ancient cave city of Kutaisi — experiencing Georgia's remarkable diversity of landscapes and cultures in one unforgettable trip.
Tour Route
Day 1 — Tbilisi to Gori and Borjomi
We depart Tbilisi in the morning and head west along the Mtkvari River valley. First stop is Gori, birthplace of Joseph Stalin, where we visit the Stalin Museum — one of the most unusual museum experiences in the former Soviet Union. After Gori we continue to Borjomi, a charming spa town set in a deep forested gorge. The mineral springs here are famous across the former Soviet Union; you can drink the naturally carbonated water directly from the source.
Day 2 — Kutaisi
Kutaisi is one of the oldest cities in the world and was once the capital of the ancient Colchis Kingdom — the land of the Golden Fleece from Greek mythology. We visit Gelati Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the greatest achievement of the Georgian Golden Age. Then we descend into Prometheus Cave — 11 kilometers of underground chambers filled with stalactites, stalagmites, and underground lakes, with a boat ride on the subterranean river. In the afternoon, Okatse Canyon offers dramatic gorge views from suspended walkways.
Days 3–4 — Batumi
We arrive in Batumi, Georgia's subtropical seaside city on the Black Sea. The city has an extraordinary atmosphere: palm-lined boulevards, Art Nouveau mansions, Soviet mosaics, and gleaming modern towers all coexist within a few city blocks. We visit Gonio-Apsaros Fortress, built by the Romans in the 1st century AD, and the spectacular Batumi Botanical Garden on a clifftop above the sea.
Timur's Tip
The best time to visit Batumi is May–June or September–October — the Black Sea is warm, the crowds are manageable, and the subtropical gardens are at their finest. If you can, spend two nights in Batumi: one evening stroll along the boulevard is never enough.
