Overview
Georgia (the country) remains one of the most affordable destinations in Europe and the Caucasus region, offering excellent value for international travelers, particularly when it comes to food, wine, and accommodation. Tbilisi and Batumi are the priciest cities, while rural areas and guesthouses in the countryside are remarkably cheap. Local Georgian cuisine, abundant wine, and efficient marshrutka minibus networks keep daily costs very low for budget-conscious visitors.
Notes
Use marshrutkas (shared minibuses) instead of taxis for intercity travel, as they cost a fraction of the price, and eat at local Georgian restaurants away from tourist-heavy areas where a full meal with wine can cost under $6.
