Question 8

What is interesting about the resort of Kutaisi?

Accepted Answer

Anya.Friends have advised several Resorts in Georgia, I can&#x27;t decide yet. Tell us, if it&#x27;s not difficult, is the resort of Kutaisi a good one? Is it possible to relax there with the whole family, that is, with her husband and children?Irishka.I&#x27;m not sure about a family vacation, I don&#x27;t advise staying there for a long time: a maximum of 2-3 days, no more!In two days you will go around the whole of Kutaisi and explore all the local and neighboring neighborhoods and attractions. If you come there for a week, you will have time to get bored.What is there in Kutaisi?There is a wonderful well-preserved, partially reconstructed historical center, it&#x27;s a pleasure to walk around it! Right in the center is the pearl of the resort – a magnificent fountain! There is a famous Bagrat temple, museums, but there are very few of them (two or three) beautiful parks with the opportunity to ride a cable car.Outside the city, a special attraction is the very ancient monastery of the Holy Virgin – Gelati, created at the beginning of the 12th century. There is also an ancient Motsameta monastery with its own history, this word means "Place of Martyrs". Be sure to visit – these are special, holy places. Martvili is not even a city here, but a whole canyon, there is also a monastery there.The last thing that immediately comes to mind is the caves of Sataplia and Prometheus. Look on the Internet, these are very beautiful places! I suggest moving between the sights by taxi, so you can safely visit up to three places in a day.Taxi drivers will be happy to give you a tour or you can even cooperate with other tourists and go on a bus tour with an experienced guide who leads everywhere, tells stories and interesting facts in two languages: English and Russian.Georgia is abundant and well thought out from the point of view of tourism! The only thing is that the resort is not quite suitable for a family holiday, you will not find water parks, cinemas, entertainment for children here. Therefore, it is better to go to Batumi with children and the whole family! Oh! You won&#x27;t regret it!Minibuses run to Batumi from Kutaisi. What kind of attractions and entertainment are not there! Here you will find a dolphinarium, and a water park, and you can ride all sorts of things (water and land), and a botanical garden, and a warm sea, although the beach is a small pebble, but it&#x27;s not scary, you can buy cheap beach slippers right there - a very convenient thing!By the way, there is a separate conversation about beaches: there are ordinary ones, and there are ones with black magnetic sand (healing). In principle, if you have time, again, you can get to Tbilisi by minibus in 4 hours! You can certainly organize any kind of vacation there!So Kutaisi is a must-visit, but not for long! Leave time for other resorts, visit Batumi and, of course, Tbilisi, they are very different – get a lot of interesting experiences and fun!Drosophila.Kutaisi is a wonderful place in the west of Georgia! You can have a great time there, traveling with your other half or with friends! The resort is interesting for its sights and pleasant quiet streets that preserve antiquity.If you walk slowly, you can see amazing things: beautiful bridges and temples. Be sure to visit the Gelat Monastery. It is located five kilometers from the city and is rightfully the spiritual center of Georgia, since its creation by King David IV. The only thing I want to note: a comfortable stay with children in Kutaisi will not work (( .Because there are often no places in hotels. I&#x27;m trying to say that there may not be a number needed for a large number of people; it happens that the lights are turned off, and this may be slightly extreme for the child&#x27;s psyche. Therefore, it is better to choose another resort for a family holiday.anton.Of course, Kutaisi is a monument of historical architecture: temples and monasteries, archaeological/historical museums and important cultural monuments protected by UNESCO. At the same time, Kutaisi is an important industrial center.It is best to go here in summer, if not in summer (when the optimal temperature for recreation is: the air is well warmed up), then in the off-season, because winter is quite cool here, sometimes the temperature reaches -17 degrees.Good conditions have been created for visitors: there are hostels, sometimes very different in price and comfort, that is, for any purse and the level of claims to comfort. Moreover, if you order the most expensive room, it will cost no more than a hundred dollars for one; and the cheapest is about ten dollars (these are just the same budget hostels).Almost all hotels and hostels have Wi–Fi, parking, places to store valuables, travel guides and all sorts of useful things that you get by paying for your stay. There are options with a buffet for breakfast or even with an indoor pool.In fact, hotels and hostels are Soviet-era buildings, but they have been renovated and converted into hotels. Sometimes there are very unusual interiors and styles. Getting into such places, you make a lot of unexpected discoveries.All the sights are an ancient city, preserved since the formation of the state in Georgia, and of course, ancient temples. Among them is Bagrata – a temple erected at the end of the 11th century in the highest place of the city.He is the business card of the resort of Kutaisi. From the mountain where it is located, there is a wonderful panoramic view! Unfortunately, due to the destruction caused by the raids of the Turks, the original appearance of the temple could not be preserved. But still, ornate patterns, beautiful mosaics, paintings remained on the glasses – many wonderful examples of Orthodox culture.Another monastery that deserves attention is Motsameta. According to legend, this monastery was erected on the site of the execution of David and Constantine (princes, holy martyrs). The princes refused to accept Islam and died under the pressure of the invaders.The holy relics of David and Constantine are still kept in a special ark in the center of the temple. Connoisseurs of antiquity will definitely find something to admire here!Kutaisi is suitable as an assembly place to visit the whole of western Georgia. Not far from the resort there is the Staplia Nature Reserve, the Marville temples, Racha–Lechkhumi and Lower Svaneti, the fortress city of Nokalakevi.Separately, visit the winery in Abrolauri and taste the local Khvanchkara! A divine drink! You will not find such a thing anywhere except in Kutaisi. Since all semi-sweet wines do not particularly tolerate transportation, they should be drunk right on the spot, according to legend, it is believed that wine does not tolerate even when knocking on the jug in which it is stored.Anna.The resort of Kutaisi is cozy and very interesting! It is full of sights and unique monuments that deserve attention, capable of conquering any heart! These are, first of all, remarkable archaeological sites under the care of UNESCO. I advise you to go to Kutaisi in the summer – a great time, it doesn&#x27;t get too hot here.But in winter it&#x27;s very cold – real winter! Up to minus twenty happens! Be sure to visit the Bagrat Temple, which surprises with its medieval frescoes that have survived to this day. Go to the Satapliysky Nature Reserve. What is interesting about this national park?Its pristine nature, completely undisturbed, unique in its beauty! There are amazing mountain caves there, rumor has it that if you search well, you can find traces of dinosaurs that lived here a long time ago.Of the hotels I recommend "Old Town", it is located in the center of Kutaisi. It is 15 minutes from the train station. There are good rooms here, suitable for spending time with children. Each room is equipped with air conditioning, a good bathroom, a TV with many channels. And if you suddenly choose a high–class room, you can enjoy the views from a beautiful balcony.Kazimir Letov.I&#x27;m telling you for sure, the family and children will not be able to relax together in Kutaisi: well, there is absolutely no entertainment for the kids (You will have to try very hard to find something so interesting. The resort by the sea is more suitable for a beach holiday, and for a family it is better to find a more suitable place.If you still take a chance, then I can advise you to visit the Rioni River (it flows through the whole city), the Bagrat temple (insanely beautiful, protected by UNESCO), the Gelat Monastery and the Satalpia Nature Reserve, it seems someone has already told about it above – a place with wonderful untouched nature, we can say that this is such a Natural Monument – I highly recommend it, amazing and yes! there are fossilized dinosaur paw prints!It can be very interesting for children if you arrange an excursion–a dinosaur hunt, something like a quest or even an adventure: "He was here! I&#x27;ll prove it to you! I know he left footprints here somewhere! I&#x27;ll help you, kids! Let&#x27;s look for them together!".In short, if you still take the children, then I advise you to plan your vacation very carefully, turn on your creative abilities: think over the route in detail so that the toddlers do not get bored and do not turn your life into endless suffering;)

Question 9

At what time of the year is it most comfortable to go to Svaneti?

Accepted Answer

Love.We are already quite experienced tourists, and finally, the turn has reached Georgia. Together they chose Svaneti, and now there are several questions: How necessary is it to hire a guide? Is each of the routes fully studied and marked? And, most importantly, at what time of the year is a trip to Svaneti the most convenient?Elena.In general, you can go to Svaneti from about May to October. Approximately, because the data on current weather conditions is best clarified by a qualified travel agency. Again, your preferences — like the heat or moderate heat. In winter, I would not recommend it — the temperature sometimes practically does not differ from the average strip of Russia.A very large number of marked routes — starting from Kazbegi-Arhoto-Shatili and Shatili to Omalo passed through the Atsunta pass, continuing to Akhkerpi-Bolnisi, Imera-Ertatsminda and many others.Regarding the guide, if you are going to the country for the first time, I think it is necessary to hire.The Mestia Tourist Information Center can tell you more about this. You can go to the Ushguli community. Its exclusivity lies in the permanent residence of local residents in the highlands, which is more than two thousand meters. There are plenty of tourists in the season, so you can do it without a guide — passing transport is regular.Valia.Svaneti is a unique place, if only because it has been included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List since 1996.Of the seasons, it is better to choose the summer months with a small capture of spring-autumn. Again, it is worth knowing that this mountainous region is historically divided into Upper and Lower. That is, there are different climatic conditions — check with tour operators. From the northeast, Upper Svaneti is closed by the Main Caucasian Ridge.Whatever vacation in Svaneti you choose, you will find not only unforgettable nature, but also useful historical information that can be provided, for example, by the Museum of History and Ethnography in the city of Mestia. A huge number of excursions — to ancient buildings, horseback riding through mountain rivers and much more.A guide along the busiest routes is not mandatory in terms of safety, but from an informational point of view is simply necessary. Who, if not a native, will tell the stories of those places better.MarkI&#x27;m cold to independent hiking, so I won&#x27;t tell you.As for a more suitable time — definitely from May to September. But keep in mind that the weather when traveling to Svaneti, you will not guess in advance, only day to day and only in some specific area.On the other hand, you can supplement your trip with something unplanned - a lot depends on the travel agency you have applied to.For example, we once had to leave through Azerbaijan — it&#x27;s okay. We also looked at the neighboring country. Due to the closure of the Georgian Military Road due to heavy rains, on the way, as in our case from Adjara. This may well happen, so a reliable tour operator is needed.

Question 10

Is Georgia of tourist interest?

Accepted Answer

Alevtina.Recently we have been thinking about traveling to the nearest countries. Tell me, how interesting is tourism in Georgia? At what time of the year, if yes?Galina.If you don&#x27;t expect anything from this country, you may be very surprised. Recently, the tourist attractiveness of Georgia has grown significantly. And all because of the active improvement and development of this industry.Of the attractions, one can distinguish especially the cave monastery complex called Vardzia. It consists of many rooms, secret passages carved into the mountain. There are also many different historically significant structures in the Batumi area.If you are a fan of a holiday resort, then you, of course, know the Black Sea coast. You can visit it now in Georgia. The most striking examples of resort holidays are Kobuleti and Bakuriani. The travel agency offers vouchers for every taste. You can also go on your own — by remotely arranging accommodation. In this regard, there are no problems even during the peak season.In terms of nutrition, Georgian cuisine is considered one of the most healthy and delicious. And everyone has heard about their hospitality.As for the time of year — from May to September, people go there to the beaches, botanical gardens, parks, for excursions, of course. In winter, there are a large number of comfortable ski resorts. It all depends on your interests.Lena and Tatiana.There is no greater variety of tourist interests in Georgia than in late spring or early autumn. In addition, the weather is moderately warm, there are not so many tourists. There are many gardens with exotic plants and springs.The sights arouse great curiosity, especially since there are a huge number of them on the territory of the country. Georgian flavor deserves special attention — their cuisine, culture, hospitality.Maksud.Definitely need to see Georgia. One of the most accessible and promising directions. In short: firstly, a loyal visa application. Secondly, the diversity of both winter and summer interesting tourism in Georgia.You can choose from a large number of different beaches, excursions of different directions, an exotic atmosphere. Thirdly, the opportunity to get there on your own, having agreed in advance or already on the spot about housing.Or you can contact a travel agency and plan everything at once. And in the end, most Georgians communicate perfectly in Russian, so there should be no misunderstanding, as in less Russian—speaking countries.Zhenya.One of the countries that are currently friendly towards Russian people. Yes, and colloquially easier. All residents understand Russian.Of the advantages, the cuisine is definitely one of the richest and most diverse in the world. The only caveat is that it is better to eat where they eat themselves, but this advice can be given when visiting any country.The history goes deep into the centuries. There are many museums and attractions. There is a choice of recreation in any season and for every taste and budget, which is important. So the interest in tourism in Georgia is naturally great.

Question 11

How are things in Georgia with fishing?

Accepted Answer

Igor.We are going to Georgia to go fishing with friends. What interesting places are there on the route Kutaisi-Tbilisi, so that there would be no problems with the catch and accommodation? There is no need to prompt with the sea — we have been doing this for several years. We are interested in reservoirs from fishermen like us. Tell me what?Nikita.Fishing in Georgia is very developed. There are plenty of places, from reservoirs — Shaorskoye, Tsalkinskoye — there are enough fish for everyone. Of the rivers — the Kura, the main river for Georgia, and the Alazani. I have been to these reservoirs myself and have never left empty.However, I have always used the services of travel agencies, so I will not tell you about the independent search for housing. They generally organize everything clearly.Although I don&#x27;t think it can be a problem. Along your route, a lot of private owners rent accommodation to vacationers. You&#x27;re no worse.Gregory.Who have I not caught in this country, I mean fish, of course. Fishing in Georgia is a paradise for anglers. From what immediately comes to mind — white cupid, carp, whitefish, catfish, barbel, silver carp. And that&#x27;s just what I remembered.Most of my fishing trips take place on paid reservoirs. People like me come there on the basis of sporting interest. Their trick is that they can catch and take trout with them — for money, of course. Since they breed them themselves, it is allowed by law. Otherwise, if someone from the local offers you to go trout fishing, consider this article.Places from my experience — near the village of Pasanauri — the residents know everything there, ask, it&#x27;s fifty km from Tbilisi. There are toll booths on Lake Bazaleti — about forty km. The lake Paravani is the same, only more well-maintained. The ransom, of course, as everywhere else costs more than in any store.

Question 12

What kind of sulfur baths do you know in Tbilisi? And which of them are the best?

Accepted Answer

Stanislav.Going to Tbilisi, I can&#x27;t ask about the baths. I love this business. Those of you who have visited, please advise the best sulfur baths in Tbilisi. Including where to look for them, payment terms and amounts. Since I&#x27;ll be passing through.Renat.I will definitely focus on Orbelian baths. Not only does it have a spectacular facade, but it is also beautifully finished inside. If you buy a VIP — a it costs a little more, then with this you will gain even more comfort.Sulfur baths in Tbilisi are conveniently located. The Tsar Rostom bath complex runs along the promenade of the Kura River. There is a wide variety of different baths. For different tastes and pricing policy. You can choose any one. You will get there without any problems — any taxi driver knows.Stepan.Tbilisi sulfur baths are practically the hallmark of the city. However, the reviews about them are quite contradictory. It concerns the furniture inside, the regular change of water and the like. In any case, you should go there yourself at least once and work out your opinion on them.Sulfur water itself is useful not only for the skin, but also for the whole body. It has a tonic, antimicrobial effect.Inga.You can drive to the Abanotubani quarter, and while walking there, make a choice in favor of one of the sulfur baths of Tbilisi. There are a huge number of them here. Their uniqueness lies in the fact that initially the area was formed around sulfur springs. Baths began to be built here several hundred years ago, and they are still working.Orbelianovskaya bathhouse is definitely worth a visit. Entrance is paid separately. Inside you can buy everything from a washcloth to a massage. Also nearby is bathhouse No. 5 — that&#x27;s what it&#x27;s called. Prices are more democratic. There are about seventy rubles in the common room, about fifteen hundred in the individual.Vlad.In translation, Tbilisi means warm. It was named this way precisely because of the springs gushing from the mountain. Whichever bath you choose from the whole variety, be it Sumbatovskaya or Iraklievskaya — after visiting you will feel rested and refreshed.Sulfur has a very beneficial effect on the skin. There is no need to order anything in advance at the entrance to any of the sulfur baths in Tbilisi. You get everything inside, just by paying for the entrance.

Question 13

What are the interesting activities in Bakuriani in summer?

Accepted Answer

Ivan.I know about this place only in terms of winter holidays. And how relevant is this resort in terms of a variety of leisure activities in the warm season?Vladislav.We went with our family to rest in Bakuriani last summer and discovered several quite interesting self-guided tours:We took a ride with the children along a picturesque route on a passenger train that runs between Bakuriani and Borjomi. By the way, it is the only one of its kind on the territory of the former southern CIS countries.The trip takes about two and a half hours and thanks to the frequent descents / ascents, as well as the rather colorful landscapes that replace each other, it does not let you get bored. By the way, it is inexpensive – translated from Georgian lari – fifty rubles, and this is first class.We examined nature during a trip over an air bridge with a height of almost 3000 meters. This trip brought us the most vivid impressions. After all, the nature of Transcaucasia is very beautiful, And from a bird&#x27;s-eye view it takes your breath away.You can also walk, which we did, at a brisk pace through the streets of the village itself. Again, such an observation from the inside was a pleasure.As for food, they are quite expensive when compared with the same Kutaisi or Batumi.Anton.My friends and I also thought until recently that it makes sense to go to Bakuriani only in winter. But when they finally decided, they did not regret it at all. It does not lend itself to any comparison with urban, fresh mountain air. The views are unforgettable.Our girls persuaded us to see the botanical garden of the Georgian Academy of Sciences — it was interesting to absolutely everyone — the most unexpected of all surprises. You absolutely switch from the hustle and bustle of the city and the problems that were present a couple of days ago.If you want to reboot, go here. We walked on foot to Kohta Mountain — more than two thousand meters above sea level. There is also a mountain of Sequelomta — for more active. Excursion to Bakuriani Tskali gorge — another planet.Not far from Borjomi, something about 17 km away is the temple of the Most Holy Theotokos Timotesubani. The thermal nitrogen waters of the Tsikhisjvari spring are the best relaxation. In general, we will come there again anyway. We still remember the rest in Bakuriani in the summer. Moreover, it&#x27;s easier to move between cities — the distance is less than an hour away. Almost any transport — cars for rent, taxis, minibuses, buses.Olga.I can recommend you many places to stay in Bakuriani in summer. If you are interested in ancient building structures, then the medieval Timotesubani monastery comes to mind first of all — it is located in the vicinity of Borjomi. If you go to the cave city of Vardzia, be sure to visit the monastery on its territory.Of the natural beauties, the mountain lake Tabatskuri with the purest water is most memorable.And of course about the mineral spa towns. The village of Tsagveri is located on the territory of the Samtskhe-Javakheti region. And, of course, the village of Mitarbi — the mineral water from which the whole of Georgia knows, along with Borjomi.

Question 14

What mountain places in Georgia should I pay special attention to?

Accepted Answer

Elizabeth.In the middle of last year we visited Tbilisi, and were very impressed by the trip. There is a desire to explore this area more deeply, namely the mountainous terrain of Georgia. Friends told about the city of Akhaltsikhe and its surroundings. Perhaps anyone else knows such picturesque corners of this country?Tatyana.In my opinion, the main thing is security. You should remember only a few visiting rules. First, it is better to carry out such trips from July to September inclusive. In these three months. And before May, in principle, there is no way to go there.Second, the temperature is lower there, so be prepared. Third, a professional guide is a service of any travel agency. He knows where to have a snack and take a break during a walk. Since the infrastructure in remote areas is not particularly developed, this is valuable knowledge. In addition, he will show the most beautiful, photogenic landscapes and tell the historical moments associated with them. It&#x27;s safer with him again.As for specific places, I can recommend the town of Kazbegi, which lies at the foot of Mount Kazbek. Of the advantages — quite good roads for mountainous terrain. Of course, in addition to the stunning views. Pay attention to Svaneti — high mountains, deep gorges, waterfalls. Very picturesque area, including residential buildings. Tushetia is an underestimated direction.Tusheti National Park is unique in its kind — on its territory forests with rare plants are adjacent to glaciers. And residential settlements with completely abandoned villages.In general, no matter which area of this country you choose, you will be satisfied in any case.Vyacheslav.In Bakuriani and Gudauri, everything is set up for tourists — a variety of both rented housing and delicious places of Georgian cuisine. The Borjomi — Bakuriani narrow-gauge railway is considered to be the only one of its kind in the entire territory of Transcaucasia.If you drive from Ozurgeti in the direction of Nabeglavi, you will be able to reach the historical region in the west of Georgia called Guria. There are a large number of resorts, as well as ancient interesting buildings where you can go on an excursion. And if from Batumi towards Khulo — to mountainous Adjara, this is primarily nature — rivers, mountains, waterfalls. And of course the ancient temples, fortresses.A memorable mountainous area — Khevsuretia and Dushetia — there is an opportunity to settle in the houses of local residents. Mestia is a locality of Svaneti, also very rich in sights.You can get to it from Tbilisi to the train station in the city of Zugdidi, and from there by taxi to your destination. Stepantsminda or Kazbegi in another way is a cozy small village that is easily accessible by bus. It is also popular for tourists, including foreign ones. There is an observation deck with a breathtaking view of the sleeping Kazbek volcano.You will not regret it if you visit Shatili, a high—mountain village in the historical region of Khevsureti, when traveling through the mountainous places of Georgia. And in Dusheti to Barisakho — routes from Tbilisi allow you to do this without problems.Elena.If you want to see nature literally in its original form, it is worth going to the small settlement of Shatili, the historical region of Khevsureti. We did so after a chic vacation in Batumi in every sense. The village is located high in the mountains and has many man-made defensive structures. They were built by the residents themselves in order to protect them from the Chechens.Since the Khevsureti region is part of the territory of the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region, which in turn borders Chechnya, the construction of reliable fortresses was vital. Practically from the windows you can see the Argun River flowing through the gorge, connecting Georgia with Russia.If you decide to take your mind off the comfortable city and drive through the mountainous terrain of Georgia, it is better to start with the urban-type settlement of Zhinvali, where you can see a reservoir of rare beauty surrounded by mountains and located on the Aragvi River. It is located only fifty km from Tbilisi.And from Zhinvali to Shatili to go about 80 kilometers. The difficulty lies only in the fact that it is possible to travel only from June to October — this is generalized, the dates vary, and it is better to check with tour operators. Since it&#x27;s definitely worth seeing something like this.Olga.Keep in mind that this kind of terrain in any country, including Georgia, is absolutely different from the comfort that we are used to seeing in cities.Nevertheless, a trip to the mountainous places of Georgia will leave behind indelible impressions and a desire to return again. Here are a few such directions. There are several interesting villages in the mountainous territory of Svaneti, including the community of Ushguli.I was also impressed by the Khatsvali ski resort, which can and should be visited in the warmer months. The places are very spectacular. It is worth mentioning the mountain peak of Shkhara, which is the highest point of the Main Caucasian Ridge.Alex.Guria region is considered to be one of the most picturesque places in mountainous Georgia. If you stop in this area, then not only mountain ranges are waiting for you, but also many reservoirs. The largest city of the region is Ozurgeti, and the district itself lies on the territory of the Colchis lowland.Attractions are also present. I would like to highlight a couple of them. There is a Jumati monastery in the settlement of Dziridzhumati, you can hire a guide — he will tell you historical information about it. In the village of Achi there is a very ancient monastery of the same name.You can also relax — visit resorts such as Nabeglavi, famous for its mineral water springs. And of course the resort of Bakhmaro — including equipped with everything necessary for tourists.

Question 15

Is any negative possible during your vacation in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Artem.I&#x27;ve never really been drawn to those parts, and recently friends invited me. They are already thoroughly planning. What kind of troubles can happen when traveling to Georgia?Tamara Vasilyeva.How many times have I rested — both with friends and with my family. Nothing bad or illegal happened. In any crowded place — be it your hometown or another country — you need to keep everything to yourself. In plain sight, not in front of others. Don&#x27;t be rude, don&#x27;t be rude, behave culturally.In addition, please note that Georgians communicate perfectly in Russian. If you respect them, they will respect you. You worry about nothing. Go boldly and do not expect problems on vacation in Georgia — you will attractLarisa.In Georgia, they are and this is normal! Just like in any other country. In any case, Georgia has grown a lot in all areas over the past few years. People are happy with life. In general, it is not so dangerous and everything is much more cultured than in many countries, including Russia. I can&#x27;t say I&#x27;m happy about it.The order is monitored by the authorities, and they can and should be asked for protection. Thanks to them, the number of crimes related to various thefts has become lower and continues to fall.One way or another, you should keep yourself in control. Not only in terms of material values, but also within the framework of adequacy. Georgians are always welcome. The point of coming to a foreign country and looking for trouble…The real danger on vacation in Georgia can be represented by various manifestations of nature, for example, sharp cliffs, rock falls. Therefore, if you do not want to take risks, it is better to organize a trip officially through a travel agency. And don&#x27;t go to remote areas alone.Christina.Of the possible problems of recreation in Georgia, only one comes to my mind — a partial, and sometimes complete lack of cellular communication in the mountains.In places, from distant cities, it can be unstable. The minus is not too significant, if only simply because it is always necessary to think about your safety in advance. Hire a guide and plan excursions only through a travel agency.In addition, it is relevant for every mountain in any country in the world. As for personal protection against possible illegal actions — do not worry here. Georgia is one of the safest countries for tourism in the entire territory of the former USSR.AutoGena.Georgians have a very special temperament, hence their famous hospitality — emotional and attuned to reciprocity. There is one simple rule — everyone can offend a Georgian, just like a poet. Simply refusing to come to visit, even if you see each other for the first time in your life. If you refuse, it is necessary to smooth out all the corners as much as possible.You need to remember that you are in a different culture with your own mentality and show elementary human gratitude, even if you have already paid the bill.Of course, not without pickpockets and small scammers. And I think it&#x27;s irresponsible to blame all the blame on gullible tourists.And on the other hand, in which country are such crimes completely absent? Another thing is that the law enforcement agencies of Georgia are making great efforts out of the interest of the authorities in an even greater influx of tourists.Be careful yourself, keep an eye on your property in crowded places. Large sums of money, there is no point in carrying documents with you. And there will not be a single problem when traveling in Georgia.Lyuba.Frankly, I don&#x27;t understand at all what you&#x27;re worried about. The population is happy for tourists. The whole world knows about their hospitality.We speak the same language — only a small part does not know Russian. Including the police. There is no inadequate courtship and begging, as in Arab countries.About petty theft, of course, unpleasant. To do this, you need to follow the simplest rules that you observe in your hometown. And this is another country, vacation problems in Georgia can overshadow the whole trip. Why is this necessary?Boryan.It&#x27;s definitely not worth praising so much. And there may be problems in Georgia. Divorce schemes have not disappeared anywhere, on the contrary.For example, a middle—aged woman in more than modest clothes loses consciousness in front of tourists. She is barely brought to her senses, and she complains — the treatment is expensive, I live on the latter, there is no money.Of course, compassionate people voluntarily give her a rather large sum collected by the whole group. And what is the result? As a result, one of these tourists notices a suspiciously similar picture a few days later. With a suspiciously similar woman in the lead role…Nonna.Why do you say that Georgia is more cultured than Russia? Is that so? I have the opportunity to compare. She was born and raised in Georgia. Graduated from the university.Then she moved to Russia, where she lived for another two decades. Now I live in Belarus and therefore I can say that you are wrong. No matter how much I love this country, my native mentality. I am well aware of not only the advantages, but also the disadvantages. During a vacation vacation in Georgia, problems may arise.I&#x27;m talking about the order on the streets, the degree of education of the population, the observance of morality and following the general letter of the law. Unfortunately, Georgia is inferior to Belarus in this.Kirill.You need to pay attention to your body. Problems may arise with him, just because of acclimatization. If you are traveling, which is for sure, from the colder regions of Russia, the CIS.So, for example, August is no longer for you — it is the hottest, and in Adjara it is also stuffy, due to precipitation, time of the year. Choose your vacation time depending on the area of Georgia where you want to go. And vice versa — if the vacation time is fixed in advance, select the area for it. A good travel agency will be able to recommend several options to choose from.The danger of a holiday in Georgia can also lie in wait for food — overeating or unusual food products, their combinations. No public catering is immune from the second freshness in the heat. Therefore, the main secret of tourism in almost any country is to eat where the locals go to have lunch.Alena.It&#x27;s crazy, they lived. If a fraudster cheats, and a thief steals, then the tourist is to blame for this?After all, the logic of people like you is ingeniously arranged - an unscrupulous traveler dared to distract himself — stared, blinked, took a picture.And in his pocket once, and there is no wallet. That&#x27;s right, it&#x27;s his own fault! They didn&#x27;t want to do it — they&#x27;re good! You encouraged them to do this — with your open mouths, wide-open eyes and tirelessly clicking cameras. Here he is — a spoiled vacation in Georgia — through the eyes of Russian tourists.

As much as possible it will be possible to go from Kutaisi for three excursions, so the question to people who already know — which excursions exactly can not be missed?Klava.Since the tourism business in Georgia is very developed at the moment, the choice of tours is also large and diverse. I will recommend a couple of excursions from Kutaisi.To begin with, the tour, which lasts up to seven hours and includes a trip from Kutaisi through the city of Martvili to the village of Salkhino. There will be a lot of attractions on the way, I will tell you about the most striking ones.

Now you will have a beautiful and carefree journey to Kutaisi.Marina.There are a lot of objects of historical significance in the immediate vicinity of Kutaisi that deserve attention.You can start with the Sairme health resort, which has been operating since the end of the nineteenth year. Caves located so abundantly in mountainous terrain are also interesting — you can get to them on your own or by public transport. One of these is the Prometheus Cave.The city of Tskaltubo is for those who are interested in architecture. In general, there is a lot to choose from when it comes to excursions from Kutaisi.

Question 18

How relevant is a vacation in Kobuleti now?

Accepted Answer

Leonid.I have heard a lot about the hospitality of Georgia, but the main resorts for me, unfortunately, are expensive. Therefore, the question arose about the once very famous resort town of Kobuleti. How much does this correspond to reality now? What kind of leisure program is possible there?Maria.Kobuleti is still one of the largest and most popular resorts in the Republic of Adjara. Despite this, prices are much lower than those of such competitors, for example, as Batumi, and there are fewer tourists.Since mostly young people go there for a beach holiday — the length of the beach is more than ten kilometers. Over the past few years, a large number of necessary tourist facilities have been built — cafes, restaurants, clubs. Including hotels — you will always find where to stay. In addition, the private sector market is very developed — even with a large influx of tourists, there are enough places for everyone.Among the more active leisure activities is the Tsitsinatela Amusement Park. You can ride on the Ferris wheel and other attractions. Among the natural objects for excursions, the National Park "Mtirala" and the nature reserve "Kobuleti" are suitable. In the first case, the park has a wetter, subtropical climate. To be outside the city. A large number of rare plants grow in it.You can visit it from May for free. To navigate through the park, visitors need maps of the area, as the area is impressive. In the second case, the main advantage is the location in the city itself. You are provided with a pleasant walk in the shade of trees and exotic flowers.Holidays in Kobuleti can be aimed at both a relaxing pastime and a more intense program, which is better to learn from tour operators. Moreover, there are more and more informative and entertaining excursions from year to year.Konstantin.In my humble opinion, holidays in Kobuleti, Adjara significantly benefits over such resorts as Poti or Anaklia. Let me explain — everything is more adapted to tourists, and prices are lower than in the more advertised Batumi. Approximately in the same price category is Ureki — a village that can offer a large number of natural places of interest. Such as magnetic sands, pine and eucalyptus groves.As for the sights of Kobuleti, the Museum of Local lore is quite entertaining — it tells the history of the region itself, starting from ancient times. Peter&#x27;s Fortress — built in the times of the Byzantine Empire. As you can see, historically a very promising area. And travel agencies offer excursions for every taste.You can easily get on the train and get to Ozurgeti, where the best interchange in this regard is on Tbilisi — for the fullness of sensations. And if you want a beach holiday, just one hour drive along the coast, and you are on the beach of Sarpi, a small village that borders Turkey.

Aqueduct in the vicinity of Batumi

Accepted Answer

We went to see the Mahuntseti waterfall and along the way visited another attraction of Adjara – the aqueduct.It is easy to get here by yourself or with a guide, with an organized excursion. Just thirty kilometers from Batumi.It is impossible to skip the aqueduct (water outlet). It was built in Soviet times – a massive and bulky structure. You can climb the iron stairs.In general, it is not recommended to climb (the same guides and guides), but the view from above is spectacular! How beautiful Adjara is, the eyes run away from the presented expanse.It is not worth going specifically to see the aqueduct, there are many bridges of Queen Tamara and other buildings in the vicinity.

Question 26

Walk on the arch bridge near the village of Dandolo

Accepted Answer

We will take a hiking trail from the bridge, through the village and into the fortress of Kaviani.Arched bridges – greetings from antiquity. There are only twenty–five of them in Adjara, but not all survived, there are destroyed ones. The Dandalo Bridge, which we will talk about today, has been preserved in good condition. It is assembled from local rock, its width is about three and a half meters and its length is almost twenty meters, above the sea – fourteen meters.This bridge is scary to say more than nine hundred years old. There are no handrails provided here and the height is decent. So if you are afraid, you should not try to run over. It is better to sit next to each other and arrange a meal in the bosom of nature. Moreover, there are places for this. You can go down the path to the river, the sounds of boiling water are interesting here. You can swim if you have a desire.Each bridge, by the way, is called the Tamara Bridge. After all, it was during the time of this queen that the construction of such bridges began. This bridge rests on both sides of the rock, so the support is durable and the bridge will stand for centuries.Once there were ancient routes along which caravans with traders moved.To touch the ancient structure with your own hands, study it and reflect on what difficulties these builders encountered on the way, how they overcame them without Google, is worth a lot.Travel, my friends, with joy and share with pride, benefit yourself and others.

Accepted Answer

It&#x27;s in the village of Takidzevi, the views are amazing! The walk is inspiring, it is a place of incredible strength. Driving along the serpentine – incredible landscapes enchant, I want to take a photo here and there.The fortress defended the Chwana Gorge and was considered one of the most important. The place itself is chosen so that at the confluence of the rivers on the mountain, the borders of upper and lower Adjara are visible. This fortress is one of the largest in area.During the excavations, archaeologists discovered a layer of culture that was attributed to the fifth century BC. Pieces of household utensils – pots, bowls, churns. A pit with grains of different crops remaining in it.There are a lot of remains and ruins, ruins – you can climb. But! Be careful and look after the children, comfortable clothes and shoes will come in handy!We took a lot of photos, the place is really beautiful and ancient.

The rest of the time it is quite cool here, and the pass is closed for the winter. The autumn months are especially colorful.Route.It is impossible to go from the pass to the lake and not look at it. On the right, the meadows are endless, and on the left, the forests are gorgeous. Along the way, villages of Adjara come across, the children cheerfully shout: "Gamarjoba!!!"Advantages and disadvantages.Parking near the lake, it is large, about three hundred cars.The observation deck by the lake is probably the most mysterious – night time. When the stars are reflected in the lake.Pre-check the weather forecast and store warm clothes. Still, the water is cool.I didn&#x27;t like the fact that there were a lot of people. Noisy with music and wild lake certainly can not be called. Although... some wild people are trying to arrange it.

Question 30

Ah, respond and I will hear…

Accepted Answer

It is necessary, it is necessary, my friends, to write reviews and read reviews of others. Going to a restaurant, going to hire a guide, planning a vacation and all that.Feedback is the experience of other people, it is very profitable to learn from this information and make up your own point of view. I always turn to recommendations. Here you can find a life hack for a restaurant, you can subtract negative points – and this is also important. Do not sit in the same galoshes, a lot of other shoes.Why in Georgia, little is written about Georgia. I talked to local, indigenous people and found out that they have no desire to do this, they already know where to go, where you can go, and where and with whom you should not. Fortunately, there are a lot of tourists from other countries in Georgia. They write, they ask, they read. There is an exchange of information. Especially now it is a photo, video and text transmission of impressions. We base our conclusions on them.Such an example, one photo with a cockroach in the soup will be enough to understand about hygiene and sanitary conditions. Or the view from the window? A photo of someone who has already visited will convey the whole scale. And you decide whether you like it or it doesn&#x27;t suit you at all. This is an aid in assessing the real state of affairs.The best teacher in life is experience.Takes, however, expensive, but explains clearly.About personal experience. Do not write customized reviews, either good or bad.I was looking for a house, contacted the owner of a cool apartment, found out the details of interest: a large bathroom (which is serviceable), a fireplace (which can be used). I liked everything beforehand. I was offered a significant discount... for the review. I thought about it, agreed. It&#x27;s not even about the money, by the fact that I was going to live there, it&#x27;s clear that everything looked great. That is, a discount, a good settlement, and a positive review – everything turned out beautifully into a puzzle. How did it really happen? Fortunately, everything worked, but some things remained unclear to me: the lack of shower accessories, toilet paper, stale linen, on a double bed – a one-and-a-half-bed sheet, etc. Besides, the atmosphere itself was uncomfortable. And the promise is given. There was a desire to return the discount and write a sincere what I really think. However, I didn&#x27;t do that. I still regret it.Reverse example. A negative, but truthful review about the presence of bedbugs caused an incomprehensible, for me, user reaction. No one was interested in the problem itself, but in this review they found the undermining of tourism in Georgia. And no one said that the hotel should think about and bring out the animals.Not so long ago, we gathered with our family to see the blooming peaches. The price didn&#x27;t just surprise me, it killed me, to put it mildly, upset me. For three, four people $ 1,000, just TO SEE (!). Yes - table, wine, cheeses, tasting but! I want to see, not everything else. I expressed my point of view in one of my videos, told that we did not go. What do you think of yourself? A whole army attacked me, accusing me of being a scoundrel. I am undermining the tourist market in Georgia. But after all, feedback is very important for the company itself offering services.Writing simply and clearly is as difficult as being sincere and kind.Write the truth and you will be rewarded, take responsibility for others, for those who will come after you. It doesn&#x27;t matter about the hotel, about the guide, about the services. That&#x27;s why I decided to cooperate with the Madloba catalog. I was assured that there would be no purchase reviews, reviews. Truthfulness and reality are important. I am an active traveler, I often write reviews.It is important to express your opinion, yes, maybe your criteria are overstated, or maybe vice versa. But speaking sincerely, you will help the world become better, others will not make mistakes and will not lose the value of your word.

It was there that I went fishing a few days ago, which left me with extremely pleasant and unforgettable impressions.

The beluga, sturgeon, starred sturgeon, salmon, pike-perch, carp and even trout have good bites here.

Pay attention to the difference in the use of baits when fishing, many use a bit of grouper, as well as pieces of cheese and lard.David.I am not a fishing enthusiast myself, however, I know that many people successfully fish Turtle Lake. This is the closest fishing area within Tbilisi.I advise you to go there to begin with, and in the future you can go farther afield, such as Lake Bazaleti.Ivan.In Tbilisi, you can fish right within the city limits on the Kura River.
