Georgia
4 cities and towns
A Caucasus country where ancient churches, dramatic mountain scenery, and one of the world’s oldest wine cultures meet remarkably low prices. Budget travelers rank Georgia among Europe’s best-value destinations: hospitality is a point of pride, hiking in the mountains costs nothing, and a hearty meal with local wine stays cheap. Start in the capital Tbilisi, add the cave city and canyons around Kutaisi, and reach the Black Sea coast at Batumi. Late spring and early autumn give the best mix of open mountain trails and mild weather.
