The story

Karim covers a 14-day Georgia + Armenia loop: the marshrutka (shared minibus) system that connects everywhere for €3-8 per leg, family guesthouses in Kazbegi + Signagi + Dilijan that cost €25-40/night including breakfast + homemade wine, the Kakheti wine tastings at €12 per estate, and the border crossing logic (Sadakhlo north = smooth, Bagratashen south = 45min queue). This is a piece for backpackers, students, and readers who want to see a slice of the world that hasn't been priced for them yet.

Take the trip

Fly Tbilisi (TBS) + return from Yerevan (EVN). Book family guesthouses direct via Bilberry.
