Borjomi stretches along the Kura gorge and lives around the water that made it known back in the 19th century. The town is small and unhurried, and the best of it starts just beyond the railings of the central park.
About two and a half hours from Tbilisi, usually stopping at Gori and Uplistsikhe — all three sit on one line. Further south are Vardzia and Akhaltsikhe, another hour and a half to two.
May to October for hiking. Borjomi is higher and cooler than Tbilisi, which is exactly why people come in high summer. The park works in winter, but snow closes the longer trails.

Khachapuri in Batumi and in Kutaisi are two different dishes with one name. Khinkali are eaten by hand in a set order, or the broth ends up on the table. And a "dry white" in Kakheti is not the drink you were expecting. What to order, how to eat it, and where it will be the real thing.
