Welcome to your first encounter with the soul of the Caucasus!

🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a "Fourth Month of Summer" vibe with daytime highs around +25°C (77°F). The sun is still potent at midday, so wear sunscreen and a hat. Evenings turn crisp (+14°C), so a light jacket is mandatory for terrace dining. Since you'll be walking on ancient cobblestones and climbing ridges, comfortable sneakers are your best friends.
