Embark on a picturesque weekend escape to the enchanting city of Kutaisi, nestled approximately 220 kilometers west of Tbilisi (a 3.5-hour drive). Serving as the capital of the historic Imereti region and boasting a legacy as one of Europe's oldest settlements, Kutaisi exudes an "old world" village-like ambiance complemented by chic boutique hotels and a burgeoning culinary and cultural scene. Spend your days exploring lively food markets, marveling at the Soviet-era relics, and delving into quirky museums. During the early 19th century, Kutaisi flourished as the epicenter of Georgian creativity, nurturing renowned playwrights, authors, and poets. Today, sculptures and bas-reliefs honoring local musicians, artists, and literary luminaries embellish its streets, reflecting its rich cultural heritage. Nestled alongside the Rioni River amidst sprawling tea fields and hilly farmland, the city also serves as the perfect launchpad for exploring the surrounding countryside. And don't miss the chance for an urban exploration adventure in Tskaltubo, where you'll experience a surreal, post-apocalyptic wasteland of abandoned sanatoriums.
