Day 1 Start Tbilisi

Our trip starts in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. Our hotel is a short walk from the wonderfully restored historic centre, which has relaxing pavement cafes and bars.

Day 2 Easy morning; afternoon tour of Tbilisi

We have the morning to rest at our hotel following what, for most people, will have been either a late-night arrival yesterday or early morning arrival today. If you prefer to make the most of your time, you can take in art galleries, markets or cafes on your own befo...

Day 3 Gori and Uplistsikhe rock town; to Akhaltsikhe

Accommodation

On this Georgia adventure, we stay in a range of hotels, all of a mid-level standard. We start and end at a centrally located boutique hotel in Tbilisi. During our travels through the country, we stay in three more well-located hotels including one within the walls of a castle, one in the mountains and another in the heart of the wine country. Below are the typical hotels we use for this trip. Tbilisi: Address Boutique Hotel (start and end of the trip) In the heart of old Tbilisi, the most atmospheric part of the city, the Address Boutique Hotel is a great base for our explorations. It has 28 rooms, all furnished in a modern style, while attractions within walking distance include the Presidential Palace and Kura River. Akhaltsikhe: Gino Wellness Rabath (nights 3-4) Within the walls of the historic Rabath fortress, this hotel has a hard-to-beat setting. Inside, the rooms are modern and have an exterior seating space for a bit of relaxation. You'll also find a wellness centre with a variety of saunas and a hot tub, plus a restaurant-bar serving Georgian and European dishes. Gudauri: Marco Polo Gudauri (nights 5-6) Surrounded by the Caucasus mountains, this traditional resort-style hotel has great views. There's also plenty of entertainment, including an indoor pool, a selection of bars, and a 250-seater restaurant with a terrace. Telavi: Holiday Inn (night 7) In the town of Telavi in eastern Georgia, the Holiday Inn is a good stopover on our exploration of the wine region. There are 85 rooms, a restaurant, bar and terrace, plus a swimming pool.
