Travel notes for Georgia

GE / FIELD NOTES

OVERVIEW

The lay of the land

With 4 neighbours sharing a border, Georgia lends itself to chaining. Overland isn’t plan B: it’s often faster and you always see more.

STAYING CONNECTED

Data the moment you land

Skip roaming charges and airport-SIM queues: an Ozu eSIM installs before you fly and switches on the second you land. Plans run from 1 GB to 20 GB, valid up to 30 days, with unlimited day passes for longer stays. It runs on local networks, so there’s no bill shock when you get home.

WHEN TO GO

Timing your trip

Georgia sits in the northern hemisphere, so the warmest, longest days fall roughly between June and August, while winters run colder. Spring and autumn usually trade the crowds for milder weather and better prices.

MONEY

Paying your way

When a card machine or an ATM asks whether you want to pay in your own currency, say no: that’s dynamic currency conversion and the rate is always worse for you. Pay in the local currency every time, and leave the airport exchange desk as a last resort.

ENTRY

Documents & cover

Check whether your destination wants an electronic authorisation before boarding: these are done online and can take days to come back. And always confirm with the country’s own official source, because these rules change without notice and guides go stale.

LANGUAGE

Getting understood

Download the area map before you leave home: it works with no signal and it saves the day you land and the eSIM takes a minute to latch on. With an offline map and a translator ready, getting lost stops being a problem and becomes a plan.

Cities in Georgia

GE / 1

TbilisiTBSTbilisi is named after hot water: “tbili” means “warm” in Georgian, and the city was born in the fifth century around sulphur springs that are still there, under brick domes, right in the centre. The rest is a city of carved wooden balconies hanging over a gorge, with an alphabet of its own that resembles no other, and eight thousand years of making wine.8 routes · getting there
