Kutaisi: Georgia from Another Era
Kutaisi is the second largest city in Georgia, and is mostly skipped by tourists. Little do they know that this less popular city possesses old-world charm that cannot be experienced elsewhere in the world. Besides being rich in natural beauty, Kutaisi, Georgia is home to two UNESCO world heritage sites: the Bagrati Cathedral and the Gelati Monastery. You can reach Kutaisi Georgia by booking a flight to David The Builder Kutaisi International Airport (KUT).
Best Time to Visit
The summer months of June-August are the busiest for tourists, especially those who enjoy watersports and trekking. Winter is a low-tourist season that would allow you to take advantage of discounted hotel deals and great Kutaisi accommodation rates. The shoulder seasons of March-May and September-November have mild temperatures and fewer crowds. Alternatively, you can opt to schedule your trip to coincide with Kutaisi festivals such as Kutaisi Day – also called Gviriloba – in May, Kutaisi International Festival Opera Festival in September, and the Kutaisi Color Fest.
What to Do & Area Attractions
Maximize your Kutaisi stay by taking in all its sights and sounds. A walking tour is one of the best ways of doing this. Explore the city’s markets and bazaars and experience local Kutaisi culture. Sample gastronomic delights from the city’s numerous restaurants, cafes and bars, and then stay in one of the best Kutaisi hotels such as Nana’s Home, which is centrally located and offers free parking and paid airport shuttle services. Memory House, Kutaisi is another highly recommended hotel, featuring comfortable beds, a private bathroom, free Wi-Fi and more.
