Why

  1. In spring and autumn the lowlands avoid the summer heat, and the rain is lighter.
  2. High trails and passes are reliably open mainly in summer.
  3. The Gudauri and Bakuriani ski resorts run while there is snow, usually December to March.

Details

July and August are the busiest and most expensive months in Batumi. For both the sea and comfortable sightseeing weather, choose September. Winter in Tbilisi is quiet and affordable, but don't head into the mountains without proper gear.

Tip

Book Batumi accommodation for July and August in advance: good options go fast in high season.

What may differ

The best time depends on your goal: sea in summer, mountains June to September, wine tours in autumn, skiing in winter.
