Svaneti Travel Guide: How to Reach Mestia and Ushguli From Tbilisi

The main ways to reach Mestia from Tbilisi are a scenic but weather-prone flight, an overnight train to Zugdidi followed by a marshrutka, a direct bus, or a private transfer, each with real trade-offs in time, cost and reliability. One thing worth knowing before any of that, this is not a day trip destination, plan […]

For most tourists, a local Magti SIM card, or an eSIM that specifically runs on the Magti network, offers the best combination of coverage and price, especially if you plan to leave Tbilisi for the mountains.

Quick answer: Tbilisi itself needs 2 to 3 full days to see comfortably, 4 to 5 days if you want to add day trips like Mtskheta or Kazbegi without rushing, and a full week is really a Tbilisi plus wider Georgia trip rather than the city alone. We are the team at Travel Door, and […]

Tbilisi, Kutaisi or Batumi Airport: Which Should You Fly Into?

Quick answer: Tbilisi is the best choice for most first time visitors and for anyone heading to Kazbegi or Kakheti. Kutaisi suits budget travelers and those heading to western Georgia or Svaneti.
