General Information
In this overnight tour organized with Holitera assurance, a passport is not required to enter Georgia; only a valid, chip-enabled Turkish Republic identity card is sufficient. Old ID cards, worn documents, or invalid IDs cannot be used for entry.
All participants, including infants and children, are required to carry a photo ID document.
For guests under 18 years of age, both parents must accompany them during travel. If one parent is absent, a notarized consent letter must be presented; if custody belongs to a single parent, a court order must be provided.
As of 2025, the foreign departure fee is 710 TL per person, which can be paid at the border crossing, via e-Devlet, or through internet banking. Guests who do not pay the fee will not be allowed to cross the border.
In Georgia, the Type C plug system is widely used. Although it is generally compatible with Turkish plugs, some hotels may have different socket types. Therefore, it is recommended that you bring a plug adapter and power bank. A power bank is especially necessary for charging phones during long city tours; it is recommended that you charge your devices at the hotel in the evenings.
Your phone line will automatically switch to international mode when you enter Georgia. To avoid high billing risks, it is recommended that you set your phone to airplane mode and use only Wi-Fi. For more economical usage, you can opt for eSIM solutions (Holafly, Airalo, etc.) or your operator's international packages.
The currency in Georgia is the Lari (GEL). The average exchange rate is 1 Lari ≈ 14.30 TL (rates may vary). Currency exchange transactions will be conducted at reliable locations guided by the Holitera guide.
Cash (Lari) is recommended for payments, but Mastercard and Visa cards are widely accepted for shopping.
When paying with a credit or debit card, ensure that the merchant enters the amount in "Lari" on the POS terminal. If it is converted to TL before being processed, you may end up paying significantly more due to exchange rate differences.
Do not carry prescription-free medication. A doctor's report is required for prescribed medications.
Upon departure from Turkey: cash over 25,000 TL or 10,000 EUR and gold over 80 grams must be declared. Upon entry into Georgia: cash over 10,000 USD and jewelry over 5,000 Lari must be declared. Undeclared valuables may be confiscated, and legal penalties may apply.
Comfortable walking shoes, season-appropriate clothing, and a light jacket are recommended. Evenings in Georgia can be cool.
Do not forget to bring sunscreen, hats, and personal hygiene products.
Since long bus journeys will be made with Holitera comfort, please pay attention to water intake; you may also bring a travel pillow and snacks.
The tour program may be changed at the discretion of the Holitera guide depending on weather, road, and customs conditions. As long as the full program is implemented, these changes will not constitute grounds for a refund.
The Holitera guide will share meeting and return times with guests daily.
Accommodation will be provided in centrally located hotels carefully selected by Holitera. Please prepare your personal belongings completely.
It is recommended that you carry sufficient cash for shopping and personal expenses in Georgia, as some small businesses may not accept cards.
Dinner meals and extra activities (Georgian Night, cable car, boat tour, etc.) are not included in the price and participation requires an additional fee.
