ABOUT Georgia

Ancient history, unique culture and as yet little known for the tourist country

Georgia

Ancient history, unique culture and as yet little known for the tourist country - these factors make the travel to Georgia, especially exciting and memorable.

Georgia is located in the central part of the Caucasus, one of the most significant region in the world. It is located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, where traditionally crossed western and eastern civilizations, which unusually combined with local traditions that gave Georgia the name of the country's oldest non-recurring history, culture and civilization throughout the world.

The myth of the Argonauts, King Farsman's fabulous world, wedged in the passage of the Caucasus by Alexander the Great and many other myths associated with these mountains, widely opens the doors of our country to travelers who wish to visit, meet and know so far little-known and unique country, which opens in front of tourists in the face of Georgia.

Traveling to Georgia you will find many places with wildlife, and so far untouched by man landscapes, which makes the country even more attractive to tourists. Georgians believe that "the guest is by the Lord" and therefore warm hospitality is well known for our guests

By Bus

Bus #37 leaves from the right corner of the arrival area every 15-30 minutes, between 07:00 and 20:00 and then every hour until 23:00 to the city centre. At night, there is a bus every 30 minutes. It travels via Samgori (where you can change for the metro), Avlabari, Freedom Square, Rustaveli, Republic Square and Tamar Bridge, to the main train station (Vagzal). The trip to the city centre can take over 50 minutes. The fare is GEL0.50. Make sure you have exact change since the bus only takes coins and the driver does not carry money (purchase something in the arrival hall before getting on the bus...ATMs will give out a minimum of GEL5). Do note that stops are not announced and that there isn't much room for luggage.

By Taxis

between the airport and the city cost 20-30 lari. Standard rates are listed on a board by the taxi rank as you exit the airport, on the right hand side. Trains from the airport to the main train station cost GEL0.50 and travel time is 30min. The train runs only twice a day in each direction (from main station at 07:55 and 17:20, from the airport at 08:45 and 18:05)

Buy

The Saturday flea market ("Dry Bridge Market") by the river (on the "Dry bridge" and surrounding areas) is one of the best places to get jewellery, antiques and even antiques swords, as well as musical instruments and electronics. Haggling is encouraged, although if you speak little Georgian or Russian you may experience the strange combination of bargaining for antiques using the type-pad of your vendor's mobile phone.
