Truth be known the main reasons people don’t visit Georgia much is due to native Georgians not letting go of their soviet union past although they’d never admit it.It doesn’t matter how respectful visitors are,fact remains regardless of how trendy Tbilisi is all foreigners are seen as a threat to their sovergnity.Russia occupys a large remote area of Georgia with military bases and has done so for many years.I retired in Georgia over 15 years ago and I’m always pleasant and respectful to everyone around me.To the new comers in Georgia welcome but you’ll experience the same as I have over the years.I live here because the weather is good and dirt cheap to live in Georgia.I speak their language fluently and have for 14 years now.The majority will smile in your face and stab you in the heart,it’s their personas.Don’t take my word for it though experience is the very best teacher.Such a beautiful country with many black hearted people.

The top photo is from Tbilisi, right in the middle of town. Honestly, if you’re tight on time, I’d say you can skip Gori and stick to the itinerary you listed above. Oh, and in Tbilisi, don’t miss a visit to Metekhi Church.

Stopping through Georgia for 4.5 days at the end of August. Wondering where that top picture was taken? We are planning on two days in Tbilisi, 1.5 driving up the military highway towards Gergeti and seeing all those sites along the way, and one day in Telavi or somewhere else in the East. It might be tough to get in Gori with this schedule. Do you have any strong recommendations of things I should or shouldn’t see?

Thanks
