Been to Georgia. Was cool. Really beautiful places to explore, and dirt cheap wine.

>Does it live up to the hype?
Where is it hyped?

>>2854897
In general whenever it's brought up. Everyone says it's a great hidden gem with tons of cool stuff to do that's also safe, cheap, and has few tourists (for now).
Also the girls look hot

>>2854178
Has anybody ever been to Adygea? Seems like such an odd place. IIRC its a pity state given to the remnants of the Circassians the Russians genocided from the region.

>>2854178
I live in Azerbaijan. Its a cool place if you're tourist

Any word on the land border opening up?
I really want to go during my Georgia trip this summer, but because the only way in and out is flying, it just seems like too much of a hassle. They said the land border was supposed to open in 2026, but I've yet to see any news on the matter.

>>2855350
You can leave Azerbaijan by land into Georgia.
This isn't terrible, as there's some cheap flights into Baku.

>>2855352
Oh that's good to hear, may actually change my plans.
Is there reliable public transport from Baku to Tbilisi? Or perhaps from Ganja to Tbilisi?

Never done it, so this is all theoretical. My guess is:
>bus to AZ border
>walk/taxi border
>bus to Tbilisi

some efags seem to have done it:

From video desc:
>Azerbaijan side Balakan and Georgia Lagodekhi town.

>Georgia border taking a bus from Sheki (bigger town than Balakan) to Lagodheki.

Seems to be the main border people are doing.

Taxis are usually dirt cheap in this part of the world.

Good thread, I have some questions also
>How prevalent is English in Georgia & Azerbaijan?
>Has anyone taken the ferry from Alat --> Aktau?
>Is getting around city to city easy via bus in both Georgia and Azerbaijan?

>>2855435
>Has anyone taken the ferry from Alat --> Aktau?
Seen the bald and bankrupt video? Consensus seems to be that it's working but unreliable with no scheduled times, meaning your travel plans can be thrown 2-4 days out of sync if you're unlucky. It's a huge bottleneck in kino travel plans like traversing the silk road, imo.

>>2855439
I have watched it yeah but I wanted some other anon's experiences. I have no travel time limit nor financial limit (for this period of travel) so I can take a few extra days if needed to wait for the ferry, I wanted to spend a few weeks in Kazakhstan afterwards but I am unsure how easy it is to get transportation from where the boat lands in Aktau. I like long travel adventures, I have taken a 2 day ferry on-foot before in the Faroe Islands

>>2855442
Hope you manage to make it and write up about it. A Xian - Istanbul overland has been on my todolist for a very very long time.

Obligatory: how easy is it to get laid in this region?

Does anyone speak English in Georgia? Will ppl assume im Russian?
t. western yuropoor

>>2855671
Most young people speak English, just like any European country. A lot of the older generation knows Russian, but of all the former Soviet republics, Georgians probably hate Russians the most, so it's probably best not to open with Russian, not with the young people at least.

>>2856287
>but of all the former Soviet republics, Georgians probably hate Russians the most
Even more than Ukrainians and Baltics do?

>>2856294
Ukraine is fair, but Baltics just hate Putin.
Georgians will actually look at you bad if you're Russian
