There’s 2 ways into Georgia from Turkey, the coastal route through the city of Batumi & a myriad of dangerous tunnels & the other way. Read about it here.
Sneak peak:
So onto Georgia and a wholly different country from Turkey but a great experience all the same. We entered the country through the ‘back door’ so to speak. With no trace of tourism in sight and the local families all hard at work cutting hay in the fields, we were a little thrown at first. The first villages we came to were silent, with no visible shops or banks, just fairly impressive huge grey houses with shady gardens and plum trees lining the road. The signs are cyrillic so unhelpful to us initially. We reconsulted the map and kept riding until we came to Akhaltsikhe, a large town in the shadow of an enormous restored castle. We withdrew some Lari from an ATM and it wasn’t long before Chris had sniffed out the cheesy pie shop on the High Street and ordered a selection of this national delicacy.
