What should you pack for a trip to Georgia?
For Georgia, pack hiking shoes, a raincoat, seasonal clothing (warm in winter/mountains, light in summer), swimsuit, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a first aid kit.
Essential items for all trips
- Comfortable hiking shoes : essential for exploring mountain trails and the ancient cobblestones of Tbilissi
- Waterproof jacket or rain jacket : Georgian climate can be changeable
- Swimsuit : to enjoy the Black Sea or hot springs

Clothing according to season
In winter and for the mountains : choose warm layers, fleece, hat and gloves. Temperatures can drop below zero in the Caucasus.
In summer : opt for light cotton clothing, long sleeves to protect yourself from intense sun, particularly in the east of the country.
Advice from our local agency
Plan for covering clothing when visiting Orthodox monasteries and churches. Shorts and tank tops are not always appropriate in Georgian religious sites.
