Insider timing tips

- •July and August are the hottest months, with temperatures frequently exceeding 30°C, making extensive sightseeing uncomfortable without proper planning.
- •While Tbilisoba is officially in late October, the preceding weeks often feature wine harvest celebrations and beautiful autumn colors, extending the pleasant season.
- •Winter months (December-February) see the lowest tourist numbers and prices, but the weather can be cold, wet, and sometimes snowy, limiting outdoor activities.
