Chris & Elaine’s Georgian Jolly 2026

Chris has had Georgia on his mind for sometime and finally we are going! 

It started during our trip to Russia, when we spent several evenings in charming Georgian restaurants enjoying the vegetarian friendly cuisine and warm hospitality, and new direct flights from London have spurred us on.

We didn’t want a fully guided trip, but a self-drive felt too challenging, so we’ve opted for the middle ground.  We are staying in Tbilisi, and will spend time exploring the capital ourselves, known for its colourful old town, wooden balconies, sulfur bathhouses, and great food and wine, but have also booked several organised day trips.

These will include exploring Georgia’s history of ancient cave cities and early monasteries and churches as well as Stalin’s birthplace, the striking Gergeti Trinity Church set against towering peaks of the Caucasus Mountains and possibly the wine region too!

June weather should be perfect and we are off in search of khachapuri and khinkali together!
