When is the best time to visit Georgia?
The best months for cities, the sea, mountains, wine and skiing.
Short answer
The best time to tour Georgia's cities and mountains is May to June and September to October, when it is neither too hot nor too wet. July to September suit the sea, July and August the high mountain treks, and December to March skiing. In September and October Kakheti celebrates the grape harvest.
Why
- In spring and autumn the lowlands avoid the summer heat, and the rain is lighter.
- High trails and passes are reliably open mainly in summer.
- 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.
