Georgia is a country best experienced slowly. Away from the main tourist routes, the landscape changes dramatically within just a few hours — from the historic streets of Tbilisi, through vast highland plateaus and remote mountain villages, over spectacular passes and finally down to the warm shores of the Black Sea.
This cycling adventure is designed to experience that incredible variety from the saddle.
Over the course of a week, we’ll ride across some of Georgia’s most diverse landscapes, combining challenging mountain roads, gravel tracks, quiet rural routes and long descents. Along the way, we’ll visit ancient monasteries, medieval fortresses and remarkable sites such as Vardzia and Rabati, while travelling through villages where traditional Georgian life is still very much part of everyday life.
But this trip is about more than the cycling.
Georgia is famous for its hospitality, and food, wine and long conversations around the table are an important part of the journey. We’ll stay in locally run guesthouses, eat regional dishes and meet people along the way, giving you a chance to experience the country beyond its famous landmarks.
The route also takes us through the changing landscapes of southern Georgia and into the lush mountains of Adjara, where we cross the legendary Goderdzi Pass before descending towards Batumi and the Black Sea.
There will be tough climbs, rough roads and long days in the saddle — but also quiet mountain roads, incredible views, rewarding descents and plenty of moments to stop and take it all in.
If you’re looking for a cycling trip that combines adventure, culture, food and some of Georgia’s most spectacular scenery, we invite you to join us on the road from Tbilisi to the Black Sea.
This is an adventurous, physically demanding cycling tour designed for riders with a good level of fitness and previous experience riding on both paved and gravel roads.
The route includes rough gravel, broken asphalt and some challenging sections, so confidence riding on variable surfaces is important.
You do not need to be an elite cyclist, but you should be accustomed to consecutive days of riding and be prepared for some demanding mountain stages. The longest climbs can be physically challenging, with gradients reaching 12% or more.
You should have a good level of fitness and be comfortable cycling for several hours a day, including sustained climbs and long descents.
