Luxury holidays in Kutaisi
When to go
There’s a reason Kutaisi has a spring-themed moniker: March sees the start of warmer weather and blooming flora; the city-wide Kutaisoba festival is thrown annually in May.
Getting there
-
Planes
Connections from Budapest, Vienna and Athens arrive at Kutaisi International Airport, a 30-minute drive from the city centre. Direct flights from London land at Tbilisi’s airport, which is three hours by road from Kutaisi. -
Trains
There’s a 20-minute rail shuttle from the airport’s Kopitnari station to Kutaisi Ilia Chavchavadze Avenue, which is a 10-minute taxi ride from the city centre. Georgian Rail runs routes from Tbilisi to Kutaisi, which take under six hours. -
Automobiles
Put someone else in the driving seat and use taxis, public transport or hire a driver: scarce signage and hard-to-navigate roads mean Georgian road trips aren’t for the faint of heart.
