Whether you’ve decided to rent a car in Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi, from its second city, Kutaisi, or in the seaside town of Batumi, your 4X4 will give you the flexibility to drive anywhere in the region. 

Georgia boasts four seasons, each with distinctive weather and, subsequently, every part of the country has something to offer. From sunbathing on the beach in a sub-tropical climate to skiing in a mountain resort - here, you’ll find something for everyone. 

We've put together a list of just a few of the magnificent destinations for you to visit by means of 4X4 in Georgia.

TBILISI

The nation’s capital promises not to disappoint! Considered to be one of the most up-and-coming cities of 2020, Tbilisi is a real melting pot of east meets west. Situated in central-eastern Georgia, Tbilisi is a great base for exploring other parts of the country. Check out the sulfur baths in the Abanotubani district, which are known for their natural healing abilities. While in Tbilisi, take a drive out to Mtskheta, the nation’s ancient capital, located a mere 25km from Tbilisi. Here, you’ll find ancient, cobbled streets and pretty churches. The city offers a lot for those who are interested in history, and it provides some gorgeous views, too.

BAKURIANI

Are you a ski lover? Perhaps a little overwhelmed by the price of the sport in other parts of Europe? Georgia may just have a pleasant surprise in store for you. Bakuriani is a gorgeous ski resort located 1,700 metres above sea level in the Borjomi region of the country. Georgia has some of the cheapest skiing options in Europe. Its cheap prices are no reflection on the level of slopes, though. You’ll find that Bakuriani is just as well equipped as any other skiing resort in western Europe. Driving time from Tbilisi: 2 hours 30 minutes.

BORJOMI

Georgia is fast becoming well known for its produce, Borjomi Water being one of them. The mineral water takes its name from the town, where you can bathe in the natural, hot ‘Borjomi’ pools which are rumored to heal a whole host of different ailments, including skin and bone conditions. The hot pools are located in Borjomi national park, on the edge of the town, and are well worth a visit. The town itself is very pretty, with great hotels and guesthouses open year-round. Driving time from Tbilisi: 2 hours.

SVANETI

A little off-the-beaten-track lies the unmistakable region of Svaneti. Located in the north-western tip of Georgia, this region is steeped in history and culture. Use your 4X4 rental to ascent the mountainous road until you reach the town of Mestia, the region's capital. Mestia resembles something of a medieval-themed film. The scenery is stunning, with snow-capped mountains everywhere you look. You can use the town as a base to explore both lower and upper Svaneti, with some of the most jaw-dropping views in the whole country. You’ll also find great skiing opportunities here! Driving time from Tbilisi: 8 hours.

The above list is not exhaustive: Georgia has something for everyone! If you come in the summer, don’t forget to check out the gorgeous Black Sea coastal city of Batumi, head to a music festival in Anaklia or escape the heat in the mountainous region of Kazbegi. With your 4X4 rental car, Georgia is yours for the taking!
