The ideal seasons in most of the country are from mid-May to early July, and early September to mid-October, when it’s generally warm and sunny.
July and August can be uncomfortably humid in the lowlands, with temperatures reaching 40°C. But this is an excellent time to be in the mountains, and it’s high season on the Black Sea.

Dressing

Since the weather can be unpredictable and to be sure that you are comfortable during your trip and that you are ready to face all types of conditions, we suggest that you take a small folding umbrella and take it with you. with you a light jacket or a sweater. Have at least one pair of comfortable walking shoes. Prepare your suitcase with clothes for a variety of practical conditions. Finally, remember that comfort and convenience should dictate your wardrobe for the tour, and casual clothes are the order of the day for most occasions when traveling.

It is always a good idea to comparison-shop, and exercise the “buyer-beware” rule, just as you do at home. Be sure to inspect the merchandise before you leave the store. Most stores will not allow you to return or exchange purchased items

For your info

From its green valleys spread with vineyards to its old churches and watchtowers perched in fantastic mountain scenery, Georgia (Saqartvelo, საქართველო) never disappoints. In recent years Tbilisi has emerged as one of the coolest cities in Europe, with a burgeoning club scene, world-class restaurants and a selection of natural wine bars that easily make it the hippest spot in the region. Equally special are its proud, high-spirited people: Georgia claims to be the birthplace of wine, and this is a place where guests are considered blessings and hospitality is the very stuff of life
