Georgia is a one-of-a-kind country. Most visitors choose this area due to its natural beauty, plenty of tourist attractions, unique food, friendly people, and exciting activities. But most visitors have one question when they plan their trip: When is the ideal time to visit Georgia?
In this post, we will attempt to offer you a thorough picture of each season, its benefits, and drawbacks, so you can determine which time of year is best for you.

Why to travel in Winter?

Winter in Georgia begins in December and lasts through the end of February, but if you enjoy the snow, keep in mind that it may last until April.
Georgia can provide a variety of activities due to the country’s abundance of ski resorts. During this time, Gudauri and Bakuriani are the most popular tourist sites. What could be better than sipping hot tea or coffee while gazing at snow-covered mountains? Not to mention that now is a great time to go with your family because who loves snow more than children?!

Winter is considered a busy season, and most hotels in desirable locations might be fully booked, so try to reserve a preferred hotel ahead of time and avoid hunting for lodging at the last minute.
When it comes to winter, I must warn you that it may be extremely cold in Georgia, with temperatures dropping below 0(Zero) Celsius at midnight, so be prepared and bring thick clothing.

Summer Season

Summer season in Georgia starts in June and continues till the end of July.
Summer has a lot of advantages, first of all, the touristic spots are easy to visit because for example in winter it is almost impossible to visit Gergety Trinity Church by car and a similar situation is for many other spots that are located in mountainous regions.
It is the best time to explore Svaneti – one of the most popular touristic destinations in Georgia and the best time to visit Batumi – a famous seaside resort.
The weather is not too hot and dry (around 30 Celsius ). You can experience a lot of things that can’t or are hard to be done in Winter, for example, you can try rafting in rivers, you can try a boat trip in the Black Sea, try the zipline, Paragliding, and many other extreme activities to diversify your trip
And also, there is one important note. Most travelers have a vacation from their work during summertime. So yes, I can suggest you pack your luggage and plan your trip to Georgia.
Don’t forget to book your hotel in advance, because just like in winter, the Summer season is also high season and a lot of travelers come and visit our country during this time. It’s not news that tourist spots are overcrowded during summer time and this is also a thing you need to know in advance.

Autumn Season

The Autumn season starts in September and continues till the end of November,
The Autumn season is not as popular as the summer and winter periods. One reason is that during this time people are having a lot of work to be done and have no time to travel or no vacation from their employees, but here is a big secret you might need to know about the autumn season: As it is assumed low season and hotels are not as crowded as usual their prices are reduced quite a lot, so if you want to travel on a budget this is one of the biggest advantages for you.
Georgia is assumed as the homeland of wine. The country has a huge history of wine production and autumn is exactly the time when we harvest wine and make a high-quality product. So if you want to take participation in harvesting and traditional winemaking this is the only time you can do it and the time you can see the beauty of falling leaves.
Also, an important advantage is that the weather is quite balanced. You will not feel cold or hot.

Spring Season

“Spring is the time of plans and projects.”
― Leo Tolstoy

Spring season starts from March and continues till the end of May.
Just like autumn, spring is also assumed as low season and hotel rates are lower to be compared to Summer and Winter time.
Spring is a very colorful season in Georgia, flowers bloom, there is pleasant smells in the air and seasonal properties are reopening. During this period, it is still possible to spot snow on a mountain and try some extreme activities. Also, touristic spots are not overcrowded
So if you like to travel on a budget, take colorful pictures and enjoy your vacation,  it is perfect time to travel in Georgia.
