Things you should know before visiting Georgia
Learn some Georgian phrases
Generally, English is a widely spoken language within the nation such as Tbilisi, Batumi, and Kutaisi. But if you are going to visit the residential area, then it would be better to learn some Georgian phrases. Some of the phrases include:
- Hello – Gamarjoba
- Excuse – Ukatsravad
- Yes – Ki
- No – Ara
- Thank you – Madloba
- You are Welcome – Arapris
- I do not understand – Ver Gavige
- Please – Tu Sheidzleba
- Goodbye – Nakhvamdis
Public Transportation can be costly
Across the Major cities of Georgia like Tbilisi, and Batumi, tourists can easily get around by train. But if want to visit the local or small towns, you need to get buses, minibuses, or cars. Keep in mind that there is a lack of public transportation in smaller towns or villages in Georgia, so it can be quite expensive for you to visit. Choose the Georgia tour package to make your visits less expensive.
Bring a gift if visiting any home
Georgians believe that guests are gifts from God, so their welcoming nature for the guests is very good. Whenever you go to visit any home, try to bring some gift for the family (can be a bouquet, a bottle of wine, or chocolate).
Food at low prices
If you are a foodie, then Georgia is your place. Georgia is rich in a variety of food. Tourists can check local markets, vendors, and restaurants, for lots of cuisines, vegetables, and fruits. They can also try pastries, bread, and meat as local cuisine. At various restaurants, famous dishes like Khachapuri, and, Khinkali can be found at low prices.
As Georgia is one of the first wine-producing countries, tourists can try different types of wines. Wines have an important place in the Georgian culture. If even any residents visit each other’s home, they are greeted with wines.
Internet is everywhere
Wi-Fi and internet services are quite available in the remote areas of Georgia. Almost every restaurant, bar, and guesthouses offer internet services to visitors. And the best part is.. some of the popular attractions offer this service free of cost. The main capital city of Georgia, Tbilisi has a free Wi-Fi network i.e. “TbilisiLovesYou”.
Buy a local SIM card
Buy a SIM card as soon as you arrive in Georgia. If you are up to using a taxi service or Google Maps, having a SIM card can be useful. Try not to buy SIM cards from the airport as it may you a cost high. Instead, consider purchasing from the Magti Branch. You can get your SIM card registered within just 10 minutes. Please keep in mind, that if you are going to use Google Maps to wander across the Georgian streets, Google Maps can make your exploration difficult as sometimes it doesn’t show the streets or their numbers. It is better to take a bus to reach your destination.
Always bring some cash with you
In the major cities of Georgia, tourists can make payments with their cards but most of the places in Georgia like local regions, restaurants, hotels, and small supermarkets only accept cash payments. Lari is the official currency of Georgia and must be carried when visiting smaller regions or mountains. It is also noted that you can rarely find ATMs outside the bigger cities, so it is better to carry cash to avoid any hindrance during your trip.
Considering these things before visiting Georgia and choosing Georgia tour packages can make your trip successful without any hurdles. So, mug up with the best travel agency in Dubai and make your Georgia dream trip true.
