Georgia's ancient second city — UNESCO cathedrals, canyons, and the cheap-flight hub.
Kutaisi is best experienced with a local guide who can add historical, cultural, and food context that self-guided travelers miss. Below are the tour formats we run.
Kutaisi is Georgia's third-largest city and, thanks to Wizz Air, the country's cheap-flight gateway from Europe. It's a quiet, low-rise capital of the Imereti region and the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Colchis — the destination of Jason and the Argonauts. Most travelers spend 1 night here on arrival before heading to Tbilisi or the mountains, but the surrounding Imereti countryside is one of Georgia's most rewarding day-trip regions: two UNESCO monasteries, three karst canyons, and a cave system, all within 40 minutes of the city.
