Georgia in October: where to go? Reviews. Independent travel to Georgia in October Georgia in early September where to go

September is considered the last in the summer month, and from this it follows that it is the best for spending time in this country. At this time the weather is considered the mildest and not the hottest. The air temperature in Tbilisi does not exceed 35 degrees during the day. At night it can drop to 18. In the south, the weather in Georgia in September is also not very hot. The limit for temperature indicators in the city of Kobuleti is 37 degrees during the day and 21 at night. In the north of Georgia in the city of Kutaiti, temperatures are slightly lower and do not exceed 33 degrees during the daytime and 16 at night. As for precipitation, there is not very much of it on the flat surface. It is extremely rare for short periods of rain to occur.

But in the mountains at this time you can even find snow. As a rule, the climate in the mountains is exactly the opposite of the climate on the flat surface. Therefore, in the city of Stepantsminda the air temperature in September will not rise above 5-8 degrees. Thus, when going to Georgia in September, first of all you need to understand which city will be your final destination. Based on this, take with you the clothes that will help you feel comfortable while traveling.

My girlfriend and I were in Georgia in October. We flew by plane, didn’t book anything in advance, and, of course, preferred backpacks to suitcases.

Upon arrival in Batumi, there was nothing going except taxis, so we decided to walk to the city. We reached the embankment in about an hour, met the sunrise there and set off to wander in search of housing. Dawn upon arrival:

Options for 70-100 bucks were not very suitable, we were just about to stomp into the hostel when we were practically grabbed by the hands and brought to a cozy 2-room apartment 5 minutes from the embankment, almost opposite the Sheraton. We paid something like $20-25 per night for two people.

We hung out in Batumi for 2 or 3 days, went to the botanical garden (all day), admired the fountains (I liked the ones at Radisson’s better) and even went swimming. We had lunch in a semi-basement khinkal restaurant 2 minutes from the apartment - terribly tasty, terribly filling, at prices the same as everywhere else. Dinner - mushrooms in Suluguni on kets:

We are going to Vardzia through Adjara

But in Georgia, things often don’t happen as planned. There were no direct flights to Akhaltsikhe, we were advised to go to Khulo and change there to Akhaltsikhe. A few hours along the picturesque serpentine road and here we are in Khulo. It turned out that there would be no minibuses through the pass today. Okay, we decided to hitchhike. It's late afternoon, there aren't many cars. The minibus stops, passengers from the front seats climb into the back and ride standing, best places for guests. The driver drives only to the pass (and for us it’s a good distance further), and says that most likely there won’t be any cars today. This is how we become his guests. This is what our movements around the country looked like:

Ednar is over 40, lives in the small village of Dinosparauli with his wife, 3 children and parents. We spend the whole evening communicating with the whole family (only Ednar himself remembers Russian - the parents have already forgotten, and the children don’t even learn), we eat amazingly delicious homemade food and drink about 5 one and a half liter jugs of white homemade wine(they don’t really like red - if you drink a lot of it, you get blood clots and a headache in the morning).
In the morning Ednar doesn’t want to let us go, he tells us to live with him as long as we want and in general there’s a wedding in the village on the weekend. But we need to go - the whole of Georgia is still ahead.

By lunchtime we arrive in Akhaltsikhe

I didn’t like the town at all, but we needed to catch our breath for a while and develop a further plan, so we stayed there for 1 night. We lived in a large Soviet-era hotel, quite inexpensive. The next morning we took a minibus to Vardzia.

The cave city is simply amazing, we climbed around it for about 3 hours. In the evening we went down and had dinner in a monastery cafe, washed down with red monastery wine, which the monk himself brought us. We spent the night in a brand new hotel across the road, which was also not expensive. In the morning we had breakfast where we spent the night, boarded the excursion minibus and left for Borjomi.

Trek to the Atskur fortress in the village of Tmogvi (located between Akhaltsikhi and Bozhomi):

The city where the famous mineral water is produced

Borjomi has the most intelligent tourist information service. Right from the door, we were asked where we were from, what languages we spoke, and in what price range we needed housing. Having received the answers, the employee quickly called several numbers and said that they would come for us in 5 minutes, but in the meantime he would tell us everything and show us on the map. He gave me his number and told me to call with any questions.
A sincere guy came to pick us up in a white Niva, 2 minutes drive - and here we are. Our chambers are a rather large room with a separate entrance and bathroom. Price - maybe $25-30, I don’t remember exactly. We looked around and walked around the center. The next morning we went for a ride on the Borjomi-Bakuriani narrow-gauge railway.

We talked with the guide - he told us about the history of the road much better than any guide. Moreover, they tell it because you will give money, but this one says so, out of friendship. The road is very beautiful and interesting, but we decided to go down by minibus (cuckoo 3 hours, minibus 30 minutes). We rested a bit and went to Borjomi park. For a couple of lars we climbed the cable car to the top of the observation mountain, then drank hot Borjomi straight from the tap (the taste is very different from the one in the bottles), and then we walked another 2 kilometers along the gorge, already outside the park territory, and found ourselves near the pool with Borjomi. Worth it. in the middle of the mountains outdoor pool 20x30 meters and hot water pours into it mineral water. During the season, they say there is no crowd there, but in mid-October, besides us, there was only one family with small children from Tbilisi.

Visit to the capital of Georgia

The next day we boarded the train and went to Tbilisi via Gori. According to the plan, it was planned to come to Gori, go to the Stalin Museum and inspect the fortress, and in the evening we were supposed to be picked up by familiar filmmakers from Tbilisi - they were just returning home by car and passed Gori in the evening. But we took a long time to get ready, miscalculated the train, and ended up getting to Gori when it was already dark. We managed to look at the fortress wall in the distance, got into the car and left for Tbilisi.

I’ll say right away that in the end I didn’t like Tbilisi - in this place I least of all felt like I was in Georgia. We lived in a hostel right on Rustaveli, the accommodation was the most expensive of the trip - $40 for a double room (2 beds pushed together and 50 centimeters of passage on each side). There seems to be a lot to see in the city, but the walks themselves do not bring such pleasure as in Batumi. We were based in Tbilisi for 3 days.

Excursion to Stepantsminda and the Trinity Church on the mountain

On the evening of the first day, a familiar filmmaker at dinner cursed the phrase - and tomorrow we are on film business by car in Kazbegi and we just have 2 free seats. Naturally we agreed. We arrived in a Honda CRV in about 4 hours. In Kazbegi we switched to a more serious car - a Toyota Land Cruiser with a driver who dragged us up to Gergeti. Our filmmakers came here to negotiate with local monks to film the film on their territory. The mountains there, of course, are easy to settle down there - pretty cool.

Gergeti. Views of Kazbeg:

We walked around the Trinity Church in Gergeti for about 2 hours, the filmmakers decided on their business, and went downstairs in the jeep again. We got into a Honda, drove off a little and went into the hinkalaya to celebrate successful negotiations. That’s when I first saw what I had already heard a lot about at that time - how much khinkali a Georgian can eat in an evening. Before that, my record was 9, and when they brought us 2 huge plates for 5 people (4 men and a girl), totaling probably 100 pieces, I thought that half would be left. Where there, they still ordered more. For some reason they drank vodka, on the way back I passed out as soon as I got into the car and woke up only at the threshold of the hostel.

Visit to Mtskheta

The next day we took a minibus to Mtskheta. We looked at the churches, wanted to go warm up (it was a rainy day), but a taxi driver insisted on taking us up the mountain to the Jvari monastery. At first they didn’t give in, but when he named the price equal to the price of a bottle of the cheapest factory wine, they agreed. And they didn’t regret it! Really a place of power.

We went back to Mtskheta and again visited the locals. They said that they used to have a crooked, crumbling house, and then when the whole of Mtskheta was rebuilt, rebuilt, restored, their house was brought into exemplary condition completely free of charge, like everyone else.

From Tbilisi we returned to Batumi by night reserved seat. I can't say I liked the train. The occupancy rate is 100%, the cars are a cross between UZ and BC, the price tag is noticeably higher than at home. The remaining time in Batumi we relaxed, drank wine, lay on the pebbles, and walked along the boulevard.

Photos of the botanical garden in Batumi, unfortunately they do not convey its real beauty and scale:

On the last day, whoever you thought came - our hospitable Ednar. He combined a business trip with seeing us again and taking us for a walk around Batumi. Cognac under the moonlight on the embankment, intimate conversations and a carriage ride.

We departed from Batumi exactly 2 weeks after arrival. For everything together with tickets and souvenirs they paid about 1.2-1.3 thousand for two.

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

Autumn in Georgia not at all similar to what residents are more used to northern countries, especially in the lowland and coastal parts. Autumn is a time of holidays and food abundance, warm sea and gentle sunshine. And lovers of active recreation have something to do - many hiking and off-road routes are available at least until mid-autumn. And of course autumn time best for artists and photographers: a riot of colors combined with mountainous terrain creates magical landscapes.

Weather in Georgia in autumn

The only short answer to the question: “What is the weather like in Georgia in autumn?” is: “Different.” Georgia is a small country, but extremely diverse in terrain and climate. In any season, and especially in the off-season, the weather in the regions is radically different. It all depends on the terrain, elevation changes, the presence of reservoirs, wind roses, climate zone, anomalies in the region and thousands of other factors. The same factors correspondingly influence the types of recreation available in the fall.

Consider each region, and even more so each climate zone, we won't. If you try to describe everything, you will end up not with an article, but with an encyclopedia. We can’t handle it :)

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. The highest point is the top of Mount Mtatsminda, where the amusement park of the same name is located, the difference in the weather is noticeable, but not dramatically - at the top it can be a degree or two colder or, say, the wind is blowing.

September in Tbilisi: Mostly sunny, very little precipitation. The July-August heat subsides and walks around the city become more pleasant :) It’s not uncommon to spend the entire month of September in shorts and a T-shirt.

October in Tbilisi: happen periodically heavy rains, but not necessarily, the amount of precipitation varies from year to year. Temperatures drop significantly relative to summer, but can easily reach 20-22°C.

November in Tbilisi: year to year does not occur, but there is a possibility of occurrence " Indian summer"at the beginning of the month. The average temperature is around 13-16°C. It gets colder towards the end, as expected. Precipitation is possible, but according to observations it is even less than in October, apparently due to the proximity of winter, which is surprisingly dry in Tbilisi.

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

Plains

This refers to regions located low above sea level, without complex terrain.

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

September: average temperature 22-26°C, little or no rain.

October: the average temperature is 16-20°C, rain is likely, but rather torrential rather than prolonged.

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

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

Interesting places to visit in the Georgian plains in autumn

Kakheti

September and October in Kakheti– some of the best months and not only because of the decline in heat. Harvest festivals are held throughout Kakheti - Rtveli. Moreover, there is no specific date - different grape varieties ripen in a cascade and the celebration does not stop for a couple of weeks. Some winemakers invite guests to participate in harvesting grapes and creating wine - pressing grapes, placing future wine in a qvevri (Georgian clay jug). You can also head the churchkhela with your own hands. And after all the work, straight to a feast with Kakheti kebab, lavash, wine, herbs...

Kakheti is an agricultural region. In September and October, many vegetables and fruits ripen here: nuts, watermelons, grapes, herbs, 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 evening, so as not to get lost while walking through ancient places.

September and October are 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 riverbeds dried up rivers. It can take a long time to describe, but it’s better to see it once :)

Small Mountains

Here we mean the terrain in the foothills, passes at low altitudes, not counting the peaks.

Characterized by a larger gap between day and night temperatures, the weather is harsher 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 rain is likely, but rather torrential rather than prolonged.

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

Available types of recreation:

Road trips: September-October - including off-road, November - more likely on main roads.

Active leisure (trekking, rafting, horseback riding, etc.): September – no problem, October – subject to the forecast. In November, as you gain altitude, it gets noticeably colder, and walking becomes a bit of an acquired taste.

Contemplative rest in hotels, sanatoriums: all months, with readiness for cold weather in the second half of November.

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

Borjomi

In September-October Borjomi is still good as a balneological and mountain climatic resort. In September it is warm during the day and pleasantly cool in the evening. The autumn air becomes clearer, around October, the mountains begin to turn yellow and the sky begins to turn blue - autumn here feels especially bright. And bathing in a hot sulfur spring takes on meaning.

In September and at least until mid-October, trekking along Borjomi-Kharagauli is possible national park– the heights here are relatively low, 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 resort, which has now fallen into disrepair. Now it is popular mainly among local lovers of mountain air without any special claims to comfort. In our opinion, this 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 local residents busy preparing for winter. Breathe, wander and take photographs. Silence and foxes sneak past the tent at night...

Bakhmaro is accessible mostly in September and October, with November according to forecast.

Big mountains

Here we mean the alpine zone, not counting the peaks - you can’t take a walk on five-thousand-meter peaks even in the summer without being a climber :)

In high mountainous areas – such as the surrounding area Gudauri, Svaneti, Tusheti The weather is truly unpredictable even in summer, let alone autumn. The data below only reflects the average statistical trend. Snow may fall unexpectedly at the end of September, if it happens cold year, or vice versa, they will hold out relatively until October warm weather. More or less accurate forecast can only be obtained 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 large.

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

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

Available types of recreation:

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

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

Contemplative rest in hotels:all months, with readiness for colder weather in the second half of October and cold weather and possible snowfall in November.

Interesting places to visit in the big mountains of Georgia 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 - Svaneti unique traditions and its own unique culture and cuisine. Family medieval towers have been preserved here (the oldest exist from the 9th century); the recipe for the spice “Svan salt” is included in the list intangible heritage UNESCO; several villages - a real “park of the Middle Ages” - have hardly changed their appearance since the 16th-17th centuries.

Golden autumn in Svaneti – October. Solitude and leisurely walks, there are very few tourists anymore, and most hiking routes are still accessible. And in the evenings the fireplaces are lit and leisurely conversations are held...

High mountain region adjacent to Kakheti. Tusheti– the edge of high forested mountains, passing into the alpine zone, gorges, wild rivers. Stunning landscapes are permeated with light, the mountains are soft and friendly. There are also medieval towers here, but completely different from the Svan ones. The entire region - national park. In Tusheti you just need to breathe, walk and look, take photographs, leisurely ride a horse or just sit on the grass. Incredible calm and tranquility. In autumn there are almost no tourists here - an ideal place to “reboot”.

Gamarjoba to everyone! Today I’ll tell you about the weather in Georgia by month, about holiday season at the sea and in the mountains in Georgia, about when is the best time to go to Sakartvelo, I will show photos of the regions of Georgia in different times year.

You can go to Georgia when you have the opportunity and desire. Peak tourist season falls in July-August. As for me, the ideal time to visit Georgia is May and September, when it is warm, but not hellishly hot. You can swim in the sea; there is no snow in the mountains. There are not many tourists yet large selection housing for rent affordable prices. Read more about this below.

When is the best time to relax at sea?

In general, the climate of Georgia is milder and hotter than in Moscow, Minsk or Kyiv.

On the coast of Adjara (Batumi, Ureki) the climate is mild subtropical. Relatively warm (but wet and chilly) winter (+7) with rain and hot summer (+27+30).

The weather in Batumi and other coastal cities can be changeable. It often rains in spring. Comfortable temperatures for swimming in the sea are from mid-June to early October. We swam at the end of May, the water was still cool at that time. You can swim in the sea until mid-October, but the water is already cold (+20C)

Holidays in the mountains

For the sake of mountain landscapes and beautiful views The best time to go to the mountains of Georgia is from May to October, when the roads are open, the snow has already melted, everything is growing and blooming, there is no rain or fog. From late October to April there may be rain, snow, fog, and ice.

It is clear that you can go to the mountains all year round. We went in February, March, May and June. Each season has its own charm and beauty.

If you decide to visit David Gareji, then go early in the morning (at 7 am) so that you can leave there by noon. Bring water and a snack with you.

It is better not to visit David Gareji and Vashlovani during the day in July-August. Maybe under 40 - evaporate in the desert

Many tourists in Tbilisi, Svaneti, Batumi, Kakheti, on the Georgian Military Road

It is better to book accommodation in advance, especially if you need something on a budget. You can read the link,

There are a lot of people on the beaches

If you want to find a secluded place for a tent on the coast, then in July or August it makes sense to look for such a place in the north of Kobuleti, in the villages of Shekvetili or Grigoleti, on the wild beaches of Tsikhisdziri.

An abundance of fresh vegetables and fruits low prices(buy at the markets and bargain!)

If you are planning to rent an apartment, read other people's reviews and rent one with air conditioning or high ceilings

It's golden autumn in mid-November in Adjara

Conclusion

Thus, the weather in Georgia (and especially in Adjara), as elsewhere, is unpredictable. For example, in 2011 there was no snow in the mountains, and in 2015 it snowed even in Batumi in March, when the gardens in Tbilisi were already blooming.

The summer of 2015 and summer of 2016 were rainy in Adjara, but in the fall it was hot and the sun shone more often. The winter of 2016 became unusually cold and snowy for Batumi; in the spring the weather was also changeable.

The ideal time for a seaside holiday is June and September. There are a lot of people in July and August, but the sea is warm.

It is better to go to the mountains in the Kazbegi region and to Svaneti for the sake of beautiful scenery and camping with a tent from May to mid-October (golden autumn). If you want to see golden autumn in November, then go to the highlands of Adjara.

In winter, the Georgian Military Road may be closed due to avalanches and landslides. Take this fact into account and check the weather on the Georgian Military Road on the day of your trip. Also in winter, the minibus to Mestia (Svaneti) may be canceled.

You can explore Tbilisi at any time of the year, but in July and August it is very hot and stuffy, and in December and January it can rain or snow.
