How much does a vacation in Kutaisi cost? Let’s calculate the possible expenses. First, we need to get to the city. The best way is to fly. A direct flight from Poland, Moldova, France, or Hungary will cost around 100–130 USD per person (travel time — 2 hours 15 minutes).
The minimum price for a hostel stay is from 30 GEL per person, and on average 80–250 GEL per night in a hotel (the price increases depending on the hotel's star rating and its proximity to the city center). Don't forget that for an unforgettable vacation in Kutaisi, it's worth reading reviews about the city, popular hotels, and restaurants in advance. Travelers' tips can save you both time and money.
If you happen to arrive in Kutaisi without a hotel booking, visit the tourist information center — they will help you find accommodation, suggest the best tour routes, give you a city map, and help you navigate the area. There are two such centers in Kutaisi: one at the airport and one in the city. You can contact the center in advance at tickutaisi@gmail.com or visit the office at 3 Rustaveli Street.
How much will we spend on food? The minimum price for a dish in city restaurants is around 8 GEL. Keep in mind the generosity of the Georgian people — often, one Georgian portion is enough for three plates. By the way, many hotels offer breakfast (starting from 15 GEL).
A vacation in Kutaisi is not complete without excursions. Many of them are affordable, and some are even free — for example, visiting churches and monasteries doesn’t cost anything. Art lovers won’t be bored either, as Kutaisi has an Opera and Ballet Theater and a Drama Theater.
Let’s calculate the average cost of a five-day trip for two to Kutaisi in local currency. So, a round-trip flight for two will cost about 600 GEL, five nights in a 3-star hotel — 500 GEL, food — 300 GEL, plus extra for transport and entertainment. That gives us an approximate total of 1800–2000 GEL.
