Tbilisi surprises people. The capital of Georgia mixes Art Nouveau balconies, sulfur baths, basement techno clubs, and mountains that show up at the end of every street. We spent over a month here and still didn't want to leave.

Ever taken a ride that feels like a brush with death? 

Welcome to the marshrutka, the infamous death trap on wheels in the Caucasus. 

Packed to capacity (and then some), these vans promise a journey filled with bouncing driver seats, near-miss traffic stunts, and a fragrance that could best be described as… unique. 

Fear not, though-by the time you've survived this wild ride, you'll be richer in stories (and pocket change for wine). 

Would you brave one of these for the adventure?

The Most Chaotic Public Transport You’ve Ever Seen

Georgia (aka Sakartvelo) 🇬🇪 is at a crossroads. Recent elections and protests over delaying EU negotiations until 2028 and the ruling party's closer ties with Russia (Georgian Dream --- more like Georgian Nightmare) have put this beautiful country in the global spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Plus, many have been unlawfully detained for fighting for progress.

What you should do before planning your trip and while in Tbilisi:

Sipping on Self-Portraits: Kvarts Coffee in Tbilisi! 🇬🇪

Did you know that ‘Tbilisi’ actually means ‘warm place’ in Georgian? We booked a private room in one of the legendary Tbilisi sulfur baths for just 50 Georgian Lari (about $18 or €17) per hour!

Of course, we picked the kitschiest one we could find. So we stripped down, hopped in…and lasted a whole three minutes in the bath because, it was boiling! And yes, it reeked of sulfur. 😅

Then came the knock. Time for the kisa! 💥 Imagine lying on a cold table as you’re scrubbed down to shed all that dead skin you didn’t even know you had. Spoiler alert: we felt amazing afterward. 

But trust us—you want to book ahead, or you’ll be in the public bath…and that’s a story for another time!

What is a Tbilisi Sulfur Bath Like? 🇬🇪 #KisaScrub

🚨 PSA: Stock up on lactose pills before coming to Georgia 🇬🇪

How many khachapuris can we eat in Georgia?

For the uninitiated, khachapuri is a traditional Georgian dish/Georgian food that's basically bread, but think of it like a white pizza-only way better. 

It comes in several regional styles, and here's the cheesy breakdown:

🛶🥚🧈 Adjaruli Khachapuri – A boat-shaped delight filled with cheese, topped with an egg, and a dollop of butter. You mix it all together for a gooey, savory bite! (Seriously, hope you took your lactose pills for this one).

🧀 Imeruli Khachapuri – Cheese both inside and outside the bread! It's basically a cheese explosion that'll have you questioning all your life choices-but in the best way possible.

 🧀🧀 Megrelian Khachapuri – This one takes things up a notch with extra cheese piled on top of the already cheesy bread. It's like Imeruli's fancier cousin.

🥐 Meskhetian Khachapuri – Our personal favorite! This one is unique with its light, flaky filo pastry instead of traditional dough. It feels like eating a cheesy cloud.

👑🧀🧀🧀 Royal Khachapuri – If you thought Megrelian was decadent, brace yourself for the Royal! This majestic version is an indulgent masterpiece, packing layers of cheese and extra toppings, fit for the true cheese royalty.

We're not ashamed-12 khachapuris in 21 days. Georgia, you've officially stolen our hearts and filled us with cheese! 💙
