PSJ84 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Edinburgh - Antalya - Tbilisi on the Wednesday, leave at 8.30 and land at 3.15 with 7 hours in Antalya. Tbilisi - Athens - Birmingham - Edinburgh on the Saturday. Leave Tbilisi at 5.40, landing in Edinburgh at 15.45. 2 hours in Athens and around 3 in Birmingham. 4 of us doing that, think it came to just under £300 but can’t actually remember for sure.

YesTA Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Honestly enjoy solo travel, can make your own plans for the whole time. Never really on your own when the tartan army are in areas all over the cities and on all types of transport there and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just take English notes and do it in Tbilisi if you must exchange money. If you do manage to find someone here, which would be hard, the exchange rate would be pish.

Full military section sub machine guns etc. Owner took our Scottish notes and gave us a better exchange rate than English ones!!! Think Tbilisi moved on a bit in that 16 year period!!!!!

When we were all there for the second match, they said Tbilisi had lost its edge since the first visit. That wasn't a criticism as such; just an observation. Whatever I expected Tbilisi to be, it was absolutely NOTHING like that. IIRC, it felt almost Mediterranean. Like you say, it's a lovely place. It's also one of the safest-feeling places I've ever been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ev1509 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Travelling myself on the Wednesday/into Thursday morning. Is a taxi the best way to get into the centre (near europe square) from the airport? I arrive about 02:35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryWood34 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Taxi for me yeh. Hotel does pick up so that’ll do me. Plans wise I was thinking I’d do a thermal bath / cable car / plenty food and I might even go and shoot some guns haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went on city tour in April and the guide said that being on the Silk Road they claim they had over 100 nationalities living there in the 11th century.
