Notable
The Georgian food is amazing, so is the wine. The drivers are not as bad as people say, but this might have changed in the past years because there is quite a lot of police around these days. Still be aware of drunk drivers, specially in the afternoons or evenings!
Important information
Here some very country specific information:
- Be aware that most people do not speak English, but everyone speaks Russian. Therefore make sure you learn some words and bring a dictionary with you
- It is not so easy to find an ATM therefore make sure you have some money to change with you (USD or Euros are good for that)
- Don’t be surprised that some cars have their steering wheel on the right side, as they are cheaper to import. These are mostly the most dangerous drivers, specially for motorbike riders
- If you stay a little longer, then make sure you buy a local SIM. It is under 10 USD für 3GB of data. Generally it is easy to have WiFi though

Favourite Places To Sleep

Apartment Zatika in Tbilisi (41.692565, 44.803912), great cheap place to stay and park the bikes
Zandarashvili Guest House (41.622896,45.91909)

Points of Interest

The Machakhela Restaurant looks super touristy but it is worth to go there and to try as many dishes as you can! (41.6897469,44.8088309)
