Weather in Georgia by months with photo. When is the best time to go to Georgia? Why do we spend autumn in Georgia? Georgia autumn

Delicious national cuisine and wine by the river, beautiful old traditions, rich history and magnificent nature. Where do you start if you are thinking of going to ?

1. Flight and accommodation

From Ukraine to Georgia there are flights to Kutaisi, Tbilisi and Batumi.

1 /1

Most flights to Tbilisi, and usually they are the most profitable. Tbilisi is an interesting old city, which is definitely worth spending a couple of days in. The regular cost of a flight Kyiv - Tbilisi when booking in advance is 110-150 euros in both directions.

Only UIA flies to Kutaisi and flight prices have recently been more expensive than in Tbilisi. Usually Kutaisi is used as a starting point for a trip: the town itself is small and they rarely stay here longer than a day.

Batumi is a resort town in Georgia. Tickets to Batumi are usually the most expensive, but in the summer there are profitable offer for flights about 150 euros in both directions.

Housing prices in Georgia are also more than acceptable.

Prices for hostels start from 5 euros per bed, and you can book a hotel in Georgia from 50 euros - 3 stars, and from 130 euros - 5 stars.

2. Why is autumn the best time to travel to Georgia?

Autumn holidays in Georgia are good for various reasons. Firstly, at this time of the year it is no longer as hot as it is in summer: the average temperature in September-October ranges from + 25-27 ° C, the sea is also warm enough (+ 25 ° C) to swim in it up to beginning of October. But in November it is already cooler (+15-20°C), and at night the temperature can drop to +3-5°C. True, the Georgian weather has one feature - it is different in each region. And if, for example, it is sunny in Kakheti, this does not mean that it will also be clear for the neighbors.

Secondly, the tourist season begins to decline in autumn. There are fewer people, and with it housing prices are falling (which, you see, is very tempting). In addition, the autumn harvest in Georgia is the perfect time to get to know the national Georgian cuisine better. Grapes, fresh vegetables, fruits and nuts, young wine and grape juice, churchkhela - you can't count them all!

1 /1

Well, and thirdly, autumn (especially October and November) is a very beautiful time in Georgia. If you want to admire the richness of the colors of the local nature, then you will not find a better time to travel. You can go hiking in the low mountains (Borjomi or Lagodekhi region). These places seem to be made for long walks along the forest paths, and in autumn mushrooms and berries already appear, so that the useful can be successfully combined with the pleasant. True, in the evening and at night it is already noticeably colder, so warm clothes will be useful.

3. When and for what to go?

So, if your trip is planned for September consider yourself lucky! After all, in September Georgia turns into one huge winery, and, accordingly, Georgians massively get rid of the remnants of old wine. How? Drink it, of course! Fun, with noisy feasts and beautiful toasts, as only here can do. Go to the famous "wine" region of Kakheti: you will have the opportunity not only to participate in the process of harvesting young wine (some wineries offer such excursions), but also to taste real Georgian wine, so to speak, first hand.

1 /1

Be sure to soak up the coast: the temperature in September is the most comfortable, there are not as many people as in August, so you can fully enjoy your vacation. Where to go? In a busy - for those who rest without company is still not a vacation. But if you are tired of society and want peace and quiet alone with nature, then the village of Chakvi is what you need. If you still get bored, the ruins of the ancient Petri fortress are nearby - there will be something to do at your leisure.

If you want to not only lie on the sand, but also spend time with benefit, go to Kobuleti. Comfortable pebble beaches, developed infrastructure, low prices and establishments with national cuisine will make your beach holiday as comfortable as possible, and clubs and bars will pleasantly diversify your pastime. But the main advantage of Kobuleti - healing mineral springs, located a few kilometers from the resort. Of the beaches, it is worth highlighting Sarpi (a suburb of Batumi) - for clean sand and the sea. True, for seasoned tourists accustomed to European beach standards, there will be little entertainment here.

1 /1

Ureki are the famous black beaches with therapeutic magnetite sand and the purest air, filled with the aromas of pines and eucalyptus. The resort is ideal for families with children, as the shallow water here stretches for 300 meters from the shore.

In addition to beaches and local wine tasting in September, Georgia can offer an interesting cultural program. In Tbilisi, for example, the Tbilisi Photo Festival will be held on September 16-22. From 2 to 9 September 2017 Batumi music Festival. From October 17 to October 24 - Art House Film Festival in Batumi.

For those whose trip falls on October , Georgia has also prepared a lot of interesting things. So, on October 19-23, 2017, the traditional Fashion Week will be held, and on October 11, film lovers will be able to enjoy their favorite art at the festival documentaries Cine Doc (Tbilisi).

Georgia in October is, first of all, 2 big holidays: the Orthodox holiday of Svetitskhovloba (Feast of the Chiton of the Lord) and Tbilisobu (feast of the city of Tbilisi and the new harvest). Holiday services are held in the temples these days, so if time permits, you can get to one of them.

1 /1

Unlike October, november - the most unpredictable autumn month in terms of weather. So do not be surprised if Georgia in November, following the warm sunny days, suddenly presents you with rainy and cloudy days. So that weather "mood swings" do not overshadow your vacation, it is better to stock up on a raincoat and warm clothes with shoes in advance (it is better to choose the latter and more comfortable if you plan to explore local suburban locations).

In November, it is preferable to travel around Kakheti, Borjomi, along the coast, as they are at a lower altitude relative to sea level, which makes the climate there optimal for recreation. But in the mountains at this time, significant snowfalls are already possible and deterioration weather conditions- you should keep this in mind if you are going to conquer the Georgian peaks.

4. What is a must see in Georgia?

There are so many interesting things in Georgia that you definitely won’t have time to visit everywhere in one trip (of course, if you don’t go there for a year). That is why you will surely need a short list of must-see places, without visiting which, you will not be able to say that you got to know Georgia. So, what and where should be paid attention in the first place.

- this is Narikala fortress and Old city at its foot, as if descended from a fabulous illustration. Still - Abanotubani (sulfur baths) and the symbol of Tbilisi - the Metekhi temple on the opposite bank of the Kura from the baths. Walking around the city, do not forget about Rustaveli Avenue, or rather about the funny miniature sculptures that adorn main street capital Cities. But if you are traveling with children, be sure to take them to amusement park on the top of Mount Mtatsminda - time will definitely not be wasted!

1 /1

If you are cramped in the capital, pay attention to one of the most picturesque routes in the country, which stretches from Tbilisi to the foot of Mount Kazbek. The Georgian military road is stunningly beautiful landscapes, the medieval fortress and temple in Ananuri, the breathtaking gorge near Gudauri and the Gergeti Church with its famous views of Kazbek.

Mtskheta

The ancient capital and the holiest (well, or one of the most) place for Georgians. This small town, which is 20 km from the center of Tbilisi, is famous for the fact that there are three objects here at once world heritage UNESCO: Cathedral Svetitskhoveli, the monastery of St. Nino and the crumb-monastery of Jvari, picturesquely towering on high rock at the confluence of the Kura and Aragvi rivers.

Parents wanted to go to Georgia for the ″velvet season″. Our choice was Batumi. They were there in Soviet times. Much has changed since that time. The resort is just beautiful. The weather was calm all the time and almost windless. In all likelihood, there are mountains nearby. The sea is clean, but not very warm. You won't stay in the water for long. The beach and the sea are strewn with pebbles. The water in the sea is the cleanest. At first, it’s somehow not customary to walk on such pebbles, it’s not comfortable for the legs, but over time you get used to it and even the massage for the heels is very good. At one time there were a lot of jellyfish, but on the second day they swam away, and we were able to enjoy the clear sea again. There are not many vacationers at this time and you can soak up the sun anywhere. Many amenities have been created for vacationers. Of course, I would like more young people on the beach and hotter. But my parents really liked it, and it was my main task.

Every year we go to Georgia with the whole family, for all these years we have come to the conclusion that the most best time the first two weeks of September. When everywhere, especially in Moscow, it is already starting to rain and it is cold in the evenings, the weather in Ureki is simply amazing, the water is warm, and most importantly, since it is already the end of the season, there are not enough people. It is hot during the day, even after 13:00 in the afternoon the sun burns, so we went to the beach in the morning and swam in the pool during the day. The average temperature is +28, +30, and in the evenings +18. I always take jackets for children to wear during evening walks, but for all 5 years they were needed only in 2016.

We rested this year in Batumi with my husband. Vacation fell at the end of September. The weather was warm every other day. There were cool days. Only the most courageous swam in the sea. Basically, they were "northerners". September in Batumi is more conducive to leisurely walks and excursions. I liked the Botanical Garden very much. The city is a bit fussy, in the center, generally noisy. The prices are not cheap. But, in general, we had a good rest, gained impressions.

We chose mid-September for a vacation not by chance, there are a minimum of people on the coast! Just what a young couple needs! Starting from September 15, the weather was super, every day at lunchtime it was hot, it was possible to tan and even burn out. But in the morning and in the evening, a cool wind was already blowing from the sea, and that’s the most for walks on the coast! We went for 2 weeks, and so for the last 3 days the weather deteriorated and it started to rain .... and it even got colder, it was barely 20 degrees! In 2015, unfortunately, the trip did not work out for us, but in 2017, God willing, we decided to go at the very beginning of September!

We have prepared a guide to autumn Georgia: weather in Georgia in autumn and options for autumn travel in Georgia.

Autumn in Georgia it is not at all like what the inhabitants of more northern countries are accustomed to, especially in the flat and coastal parts. Autumn is the time of holidays and food abundance, warm sea and gentle sunshine. And lovers of outdoor activities have something to do - many hiking and off-road routes are available at least until mid-autumn. And, of course, autumn is the best time for artists and photographers: a riot of colors combined with a mountainous area gives magical landscapes.

Weather in Georgia in autumn

A short answer to the question: “What is the weather like in Georgia in autumn?” is possible only in this way: “Different”. Georgia is a small country, but extremely diverse in terms of relief and climate. In any season, and especially in the off-season, the weather in the regions differs dramatically. It all depends on the relief, elevation difference, the presence of reservoirs, wind roses, climate zone, anomalies in the region and thousands of other factors. The same factors respectively affect the types of recreation available in autumn.

We will not consider each region, and even more so each climatic zone. If you try to describe everything, you will get not an article, but an encyclopedia. We can't pull 🙂

For convenience, we are very conditional(may professional geographers forgive us) divided the area into four categories:

Tbilisi

The climate here is temperate continental, the city is located at an altitude of ~380-750 meters above sea level. Highest point- the top of Mount Mtatsminda, where the amusement park of the same name is located, the difference in weather is felt, but not dramatically - at the top it can be a degree or two colder or, say, the wind blows.

September in Tbilisi: Mostly sunny with very little rainfall. The July-August heat subsides and walks around the city become more pleasant 🙂 It is not uncommon to spend the whole of September in shorts and a T-shirt.

October in Tbilisi: there are occasional heavy rains, but not necessarily, the abundance of precipitation varies from year to year. The temperature drops significantly relative to summer, but it may well reach 20-22°C.

November in Tbilisi: year on year is not necessary, but there is a possibility of the onset of "Indian Summer" at the beginning of the month. The average temperature is around 13-16°C. It gets cold towards the end. Precipitation is possible, but according to observations, it is even less than in October, apparently, the proximity of winter, which is surprisingly dry in Tbilisi, affects.

In autumn, prices for seasonal vegetables and fruits decrease; there is a real abundance in Tbilisi markets. Compared to summer, hotels also become cheaper.

Plains

Here we mean regions located low above sea level, without complex relief.

On average, in the flat parts of Georgia, the weather is warm, dry and comfortable almost all autumn.

September: the average temperature is 22-26°C, there is almost no or very little rain.

October: the average temperature is 16-20°C, rains are likely, but rather not prolonged, but torrential.

November: the average temperature is 12-15°C, there is a chance of rain.

Available types of recreation(September, October - free, November - according to the forecast): the same as in summer: contemplative rest in hotels car travel , excursions, fishing, leisure etc.

Interesting places on the plains of Georgia to visit in autumn

Kakheti

September and October in Kakheti- one of best months And not only because of the decline in heat. A harvest festival is held throughout Kakheti - Rtveli. Moreover, there is no specific date - different varieties of grapes ripen in a cascade and the holiday does not stop for a couple of weeks. Some winemakers invite guests to participate in the harvesting of grapes and the creation of wine - to crush grapes, to lay the future wine in qvevri (Georgian earthenware jug). You can also head a churchkhela with your own hands. And after all the work, straight to the feast with Kakhetian barbecue, pita bread, wine, herbs ...

Kakheti is an agricultural region. In September and October, a lot of vegetables and fruits ripen here: nuts, watermelons, grapes, greens, pumpkin and much more.

Autumn is also suitable for outdoor sightseeing (not only in Kakheti, throughout the country): Uplistsikhe, Vardzia, David Gareji, ancient temples and monasteries - you no longer need to come in the morning or in the evening, so as not to float while walking through ancient places.

September and October is the right time to visit the National Park Vashlovani(in summer it is very hot there, above 45 ° C), located in the southeast of Kakheti. The place is surreal, as if it came here by chance from the other side of the planet. Vashlovani is a real semi-desert, which is completely uncharacteristic for Georgia. Low sandstone mountains, dwarf trees, roads running along dry riverbeds. You can describe for a long time, but it's better to see once 🙂

Small mountains

This refers to the area in the foothills, passes at low altitudes, not counting the peaks.

Characterized by a large gap between day and night temperatures, the weather is sharper than on the plains.

September: average temperature 20-23°C during the day, 15°C at night, there is a chance of short rains.

October: the average temperature is 14-17°C during the day, and 10-13°C is likely to rain, but rather not protracted, but torrential.

November: the average temperature is 11-14°C during the day and up to 3-5°C at night. The first half of the month is rather sunny, however, there is a chance of rain, in the second half of the month it may rain with snow. Some dirt roads may become inaccessible due to weather conditions.

Available types of recreation:

Car travel: September-October - including off-road, November - rather, on the main roads.

Leisure (trekking, rafting, horseback riding, etc.): September - no problem, October - subject to the forecast. In November, with a climb, it gets noticeably colder, walking becomes quite an amateur.

contemplative rest in hotels, sanatoriums: all months, with readiness for a cold snap in the second half of November.

Interesting places in the small mountains of Georgia to visit in autumn

Borjomi

September-October Borjomi is still good as a balneological and mountain climatic resort. September is warm during the day and pleasantly cool in the evening. The autumn air becomes more transparent, somewhere in October, the mountains begin to turn yellow, and the sky turns blue - autumn here is felt especially brightly. And bathing in a hot sulfur spring makes sense.

In September and at least until mid-October, trekking along Borjomi-Kharagauli is also possible. national park- the heights here are relatively small, snow will fall towards the end of autumn. However, it is worth stocking up on warm clothes.

Bakhmaro

Bakhmaro- a village in Guria, where there was once a popular mountain climatic resort, which has now fallen into decay. Now it is popular mainly among local lovers of mountain air without any special claims to comfort. In our opinion, it is an exceptionally autumn place where you can catch that very golden autumn in the mountains. Unlike Borjomi, there are practically no tourists here - only locals busy getting ready for winter. Breathe, wander and take pictures. Silence and foxes sneak past the tent at night ...

Bakhmaro is available for the most part in September and October, in November - according to the forecast.

big mountains

Here we mean the alpine zone, not counting the peaks - you can’t walk on the five-thousanders even in the summer without being a climber 🙂

In high mountain areas such as Gudauri, Svaneti, Tusheti the weather is truly unpredictable even in summer, let alone autumn. The data below only reflects the average trend. Snow can suddenly fall even at the end of September, if the year is cold, or vice versa, relatively warm weather lasts until October. A more or less accurate forecast can be obtained only on the eve of the visit.

September: the average temperature is 13-20°C, rain is possible, but the number of rainy days is not so great.

October: the average temperature is 9-13°C, rain is likely, the first frosts may already be at night, rain with snow is also possible, snow closer to the end of the month.

November: the average temperature is 2-10°С, rain with snow, snow are possible, towards the end of the month there is a high probability of the first snow cover.

Available types of recreation:

Car travel: September - yes, including off-road, October - off-road according to forecasts, November - only main routes.

Leisure (trekking, horseback riding): September, the first half of October - no problems, the second half of October - taking into account the forecast, with a supply of warm clothes and readiness for cold weather. In November, winter gradually begins here, it's time to say goodbye to summer activities until the next season.

contemplative rest in hotels:all months, with readiness for a cold snap in the second half of October and for cold weather and possible snowfalls in November.

Interesting places in the big mountains of Georgia to visit in autumn

Svaneti

High mountain region in northern Georgia. majestic mountains, glaciers and waterfalls. The region will be of interest not only to lovers of nature tourism - in Svaneti unique traditions and their own unique culture and cuisine. Medieval family towers have been preserved here (the most ancient ones exist from the 9th century); the recipe for the Svan salt spice is included in the UNESCO Intangible Heritage List; several villages - a real "Middle Ages park" - have hardly changed their appearance since the 16th-17th centuries.

Golden autumn in Svaneti - October. Solitude and leisurely walks, there are already very few tourists, and most hiking trails are still available. And in the evenings, fireplaces are lit and unhurried conversations are held ...

High-mountainous region adjacent to Kakheti. Tusheti- the land of high wooded mountains, passing into the alpine zone, gorges, turbulent rivers. Stunning landscapes are permeated with light, the mountains are soft, friendly. There are also medieval towers here, but they are completely different from the Svan ones. The entire region is national park. In Tusheti, you just need to breathe, walk and watch, take pictures, slowly ride a horse or just sit on the grass. Incredible peace and tranquility. There are almost no tourists here in autumn - an ideal place for a "reset".

If the question is whether or not to go to Tbilisi in the fall, then the answer is unequivocal: yes! Of course, go, especially if you manage to get to the capital of Georgia in September or October. At this time, even nature favors very different, but definitely pleasant rest.

More refreshing than summer weather makes it possible to see all the sights of the city: get aesthetic pleasure from visiting museums, replenish knowledge about historical places Georgia, see ancient temples and basilicas. Walking through the streets of Tbilisi in autumn, you don’t have to hide from the summer heat, looking for shady islands.

A big plus for traveling through a real golden Georgian autumn will be cultural events. In September, a photo festival is held in the capital, October will present the Documentary Film Festival, and will also delight avid theatergoers with new products.

In mid-autumn, the GIFT International Theater Festival starts in Tbilisi, which brings together famous actors and entire groups from different countries Europe, USA, Russia. Starting in mid-October, the festival ends only by the end of November - its program is so extensive and rich.

In autumn, the largest city in the country is covered by almost the largest and most massive festivities. In October, the Tbilisoba holiday is celebrated here, the days of which are necessarily days off. Tbilisoba is the Day of the city of Tbilisi and, concurrently, a holiday dedicated to the harvest. There is a reason for fun, just as there is something to put on the table, something to surprise and regale: local wines, national cuisine - everything is very tasty and unusual. As a “dessert”, entertainment is served to guests and residents of the city: colorful processions, concerts, craft fairs in the spirit of antiquity, and much more.

This is my third trip to Georgia. Of course, both in terms of sensations and impressions, these are three completely different stories.

The first time was euphoria. Cheap tickets, together with a friend, for the first time in the Caucasus, mountains, sea, wine, talkative people and increased attention from the male. It was a dream vacation, after which I wrote a series of essays about.

The second time I came to Tbilisi this winter was to treat my soul. Tickets were bought at the club at night in my absence, when after the words: “Let's go to Georgia,” I hurriedly threw: “Let's go, of course,” after which I retired to the ladies' room. Therefore, the second trip can hardly be called conscious either.

During that period of my life, I did little at all consciously. Rather, she tried to scrape out the remnants of energy from somewhere in the depths of her consciousness. The result of the second trip was not only a return of peace of mind, but also about 40 articles and 2 videos about Georgia, which rose in search by the summer and monetized well.

Why did you come to Georgia for the 3rd time?

This visit is a deliberate rational decision, below I will explain why.

1. They chose between Georgia, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Crete and the Philippines.

2. At the end of November and New Year you need to be in Minsk, so the wintering format is possible only after NG. Accordingly, it makes no sense to fly far for 2 months, overpaying for tickets.

3. We did not go on a trip, but to work, and to work extremely hard. When you arrive at new country, at least a week, or even two, is spent on arranging life, exploring the area, getting used to it. In the case of Georgia, everything is extremely simple and clear.

4. Money. Here I can't say that Georgia wins much in terms of budget.

Tickets - 310$ per person
Apartment - 470$ per month

For the same money, you can fly with transfers to any European country and rent an apartment in the same Spain. But we specifically chose good spacious housing in Batumi - hence the price. In Batumi, now it would be quite possible to rent an apartment for less than 300 dollars.

Tickets were bought at the last moment for a direct flight. If you get confused, it can be much cheaper.

In addition to accommodation and air tickets, there is also transport within the country, food, entrance tickets to attractions. for all this low. There are doubts about other countries. After a summer trip to Italy, I do not believe that somewhere in Europe you can get the same level of comfort for the same money as in Georgia.

5. Why Georgia and not the south of Europe?

• Greece dropped due to the fact that most of the apartments on the islands that seemed livable to me did not have internet. Perhaps, if you search on the spot, you can find decent housing options with the Internet.

• Spain counted from all sides. It turned out the same amount of money, but more hassle (flight with transfers, moving to Andalusia, etc.). If we both had a Schengen visa, it is quite possible that we would have flown to Spain. But only I had a visa, and the Spanish Schengen in Minsk is now being processed for almost two weeks. Plus, you need some certificates from the tax and other papers, the collection of which takes several days.

• Portugal did not suit the climate. I read on the forums that there is no heating in Portugal and in November it can be very cold in the apartment. Plus, you don’t buy much in the ocean at this time. Rather, you can swim, but every year the situation is different.

• Crete also disappeared because of housing - there were no normal options for apartments for sane money, and getting to Crete from Minsk is not so easy.

• Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and other Asian countries are not suitable because of the long expensive flight, visas and the fact that purely psychologically it is easier for me to fly to Asia in winter when it is cold at home. Now the situation is not the same as to go to live in Asia in the fall, sit in one place and eat up money. It is better to invest this money in something more important.

Thus, we have chosen Georgia and so far we are satisfied with our choice. We already lived in Tbilisi, so we came to Batumi on the Black Sea coast.

Pluses of autumn in Batumi

1. Climate. It's the end of September, it's raining in Minsk and the leaves are falling. It is summer in Batumi, which they call the velvet season. There is no heat anymore (air +26+28), the sea has warmed up to +25. We bathe every day.

2. Health. Most of the time in Batumi I spend on the street or on the balcony. In Minsk, I could not leave my house for several days, but here I walk at least 10 km a day. You can get up and go to the sea at any time of the day or night. Fortunately, the beach is a 3-minute walk from our apartment.

The question of where to go is also not worth it. It is enough to go outside and go somewhere. Since the city as a whole is unfamiliar to me, everywhere is interesting. At night, thanks to the illumination, the city looks even more beautiful than during the day.

3. Food. For me, Georgia is a food paradise. There are cheap vegetables and fruits, which are sold near the house until late in the evening. Every day we buy fresh salad, greens, eggplant, grapes. Lots of convenience stores

Homemade eggplant, carefully prepared for me by the best man on the planet.
Shawarma from Shawarmaland and iced coffee and ice cream

4. Money. It takes plus or minus the same amount to live here as in Minsk, while we do not deny ourselves anything. We go to places, go on excursions, and in the vicinity of Batumi you can see a lot of things almost for free

Beach in Sarpi. The mountains in the photo are already Turkey

5. The season is over so all services come with discounts. You can take free sun loungers, they make discounts on vegetables in the market, salad and greens are reported for free - it will still go bad

6. Work. All these years, my blog has been about a little bit of everything and nothing in particular. Somewhere about Mexico, somewhere about Thailand. Unsystematic records that did not really monetize in any way. Money was earned only on 3 articles.

This year I wrote a set of articles about holidays in Georgia, which cover a large number of requests. The results made me happy. There is interest in Georgia, the popularity of the country is growing, many people go here on vacation, especially with the advent of the crisis, when Europe has become unaffordable.

Accordingly, you can combine business with pleasure. Explore the Black Sea coast and the center of Georgia, where I was only a foray before, and then supplement my own, fill the blog with informational articles that are written extremely quickly here on the spot, engage in promotion and reap the fruits of your labor from next spring.

In addition to the blog, there are two other initiatives (I do not like the word “project”). And here you need to step over a certain internal barrier. On the one hand, the Russian-language blog is currently bringing in enough money and it seems, well, why rock the boat, since everything is fine anyway? But you need to think about the future.

These undertakings, if done correctly, in the future will lead to incomes many times higher than the amounts that are now. However, those projects require full dedication, a lot of time to study and experiment, plus you need to improve your English. If I had started doing this three years ago, when I spoke English around the clock and even thought in it, it would be easier, but now I spent too much time in a Russian-speaking environment and the skill is lost.

At home, I only had enough to support and develop the blog, despite the fact that money has already been invested in other areas and is idle. In Batumi, there is a timid confidence that I will pull two more additional directions.

Or maybe life will turn around in such a way that I will go offline and communicate with people. Let's see.

Another dog that accompanied us 5 km. I don't remember when last time walked in nature not in the company of stray dogs. They love me for something :)
Sometimes you generally want to forget about the existence of the Internet and merge with nature and eternity. Especially when you get to places like the Gonio fortress, which have stood in their place for thousands of years.

7. Happiness. I'm happy here. Sea air, wind, delicious food, constant movement on the streets energizes. New thoughts come to mind, which, as soon as you return home and enter the usual rhythm, disappear somewhere.

Coaches and gurus from the Internet who teach self-development sing with one voice that the state of the soul and inspiration should not depend on the place, but I have not yet reached that inner freedom, in which it is not the place that colors the person, but the person is the place. In Minsk, I also had happiness and peace at a basic level, but in Georgia there is a special charge.

We see off the sun on the beach. At first they sat alone, but were suddenly surrounded by a company of Koreans

Cons of living in Batumi

Of course, there are also disadvantages, but I do not go in cycles in them.

• mosquitoes at night. Yes, there are many of them, but they will die out in 10 days, plus after buying spirals and a rapter there are practically no mosquitoes in the apartment

• Noisy. The main road bends near our house. Three lanes in each direction. Georgians drive fast, they love the sound of squeaking brakes, so the movement is around the clock. The issue is solved with closed doors and air conditioning. But from the balcony you can see the sea and walk close to it on foot

• Batumi —Big city. Lots of people, cars, dusty. Now this is rather a plus, since there is something to do, life around is in full swing. If you want privacy, you can go to the sea or spend the day in smaller towns 10-15 km from Batumi

People in Batumi
This is how laundry should be dried!

• Meat. For me, it doesn't matter, but if you eat meat and prefer to cook it yourself, then in Georgia you may encounter a problem when looking for good meat. Chickens are sold whole, they need to be pitched. Frozen chickens are not tasty.

Meat (pork and beef) costs a little more than in Russia and Belarus, and is also sold in large pieces far from everywhere. On Instagram, they advised me to buy meat in Batumi at the Nikora and Populi chain stores. We're going to explore this week. Perhaps everything is ok with meat, if you know where to look for it.

• Sea and pebble beaches. Exclusively for beach holiday I would not go to Georgia. Georgia needs to be viewed as a whole.
