Where should you go in Georgia in summer?
Mountains, the sea and coping with city heat.
Short answer
Summer in Georgia is best spent in the mountains and by the sea: Kazbegi, Svaneti, Tusheti, Racha, Borjomi and Bakuriani are cool, with all mountain roads and trails open. For the sea, head to Batumi, Kobuleti, Ureki and Shekvetili; swimming season runs from June to September. Tbilisi and Kakheti are hot in July and August, so explore them in the morning and evening.
Why
- The road to Tusheti is usually open only from June to October.
- July and August are peak months at the sea, so book accommodation early.
- Mountain nights are cool even in summer.
Details
A good summer trip combines a few days in the mountains with a few by the sea. Give Tbilisi at least a couple of days, but shelter in museums and cafes in the midday heat.
Tip
Book mountain and seaside stays for July and August early; the best options go by spring.
What may differ
July and August are the busiest and priciest months at the sea; June and September are calmer.
