You arrive on a cool evening in Tbilisi: steam rising from the sulfur baths, streetlights throwing long shadows over patched cobblestones, and the skyline of the old town climbing the riverbanks.
Over five days this all-inclusive itinerary threads urban walks, ancient monuments and a highland jeep ascent into a compact introduction to Georgia. Start in Tbilisi, where layers of medieval, Persian and Soviet-era architecture meet bustling markets and a café culture built around strong coffee and conversation. A day trip to Mtskheta reveals Georgia's early Christian heart — Jvari Monastery and Svetitskhoveli Cathedral sit on limestone ridges that have watched trade routes for millennia.
The sequence culminates with Kazbegi (Stepantsminda): the Gergeti Trinity Church perches above alpine valleys carved by glacial and tectonic forces of the Greater Caucasus. Expect stony trails, wind-pruned grass, and a short jeep ascent that trades city pavement for mountain tracks.
Culinary culture is woven through the program: hands-on master classes in a marani (wine cellar) teach khachapuri, tonis puri and the grammar of Georgian sauces, finished with toasts and a 7-year-old home wine.
Practical notes: comfortable walking shoes and layered clothing are essential; days mix easy urban walking with brief higher-elevation exposure. Airport transfers, three meals daily, guide-led excursions, entrance fees and a central 3-star guest house are included. Bring passport copies, small cash for markets, and a reusable water bottle — Georgia rewards curiosity, but it’s best seen prepared.
