Living in Georgia

A Unique Fusion of East and West

Georgia is where Europe meets Asia in perfect harmony. With its strategic location at the crossroads of civilizations, Georgia offers a captivating blend of cultures, traditions, and lifestyles — 50% Eastern charm, 50% Western modernity, and 100% authenticity.

Often referred to as the "Mountain of the Peoples," Georgia is a vibrant, welcoming nation nestled between the majestic Caucasus Mountains and the tranquil shores of the Black Sea. Over the past decade, it has rapidly emerged as one of the world’s most exciting destinations — for travelers, entrepreneurs, and new residents alike.

Whether it’s the stunning variety of landscapes, the richness of local traditions, or the legendary hospitality, Georgia promises a lifestyle that’s both inspiring and accessible.

Why More People Are Choosing to Live in Georgia

Georgia is no longer a hidden gem — it’s a smart choice for those looking to relocate, work remotely, invest, or simply enjoy life in a place where things still feel real. With its open-door policy, low bureaucracy, and friendly atmosphere, Georgia is one of the easiest countries to settle in, whether temporarily or long-term.

From dynamic cities to peaceful countryside, from ancient wine-making villages to digital nomad hubs — Georgia caters to all kinds of lifestyles. The blend of affordability, safety, and quality of life makes it a compelling alternative to more saturated or expensive destinations.

Safety: Peace of Mind Comes Standard

Georgia ranks among the safest countries in the world. Whether you're walking home at night in Tbilisi or exploring remote mountain villages, you’ll feel a level of personal safety that is rare today — and locals take great pride in that.

Georgian hospitality isn’t a marketing slogan, it’s a way of life. There's a famous saying here: “A guest is a gift from God.” And it holds true. The warmth, generosity, and care that Georgians extend to foreigners is one of the country’s most distinctive features. This isn’t just about being polite — it’s about making you feel at home.

Affordable Living Without Compromising on Comfort

Living in Georgia is surprisingly affordable, especially when compared to Europe, North America, or East Asia.

From rent and groceries to transportation and entertainment, daily life in Georgia remains very budget-friendly — while maintaining excellent standards. Combine that with the country's growing digital infrastructure and low taxes, and you’ve got the ideal setup for remote workers, entrepreneurs, and families looking for a fresh start.

Additionally, Georgia is well connected via major low-cost airlines (Wizz Air, Pegasus, Flydubai etc.), making it easy to travel in and out of the country.

A Gastronomic Paradise

Few things define a culture like its cuisine — and Georgian food is an experience you won’t forget. Drawing from centuries of culinary tradition, local dishes are colorful, creative, and deeply comforting. Think of it as the perfect marriage of Mediterranean freshness, Middle Eastern spices, and Slavic heartiness.

From the famous khinkali dumplings to the delicious khachapuri cheese bread, every meal is a celebration. And with some of the world’s most flavorful organic ingredients, Georgia offers a natural and healthy way of eating.

The Cradle of Wine

Georgia isn't just a country that makes wine — it’s the birthplace of wine. With over 8,000 years of continuous winemaking history, Georgia holds a spiritual connection to the vine that goes far beyond agriculture.

Its unique qvevri method (fermentation in clay vessels buried underground) has earned it global recognition, and its hundreds of native grape varieties make Georgian wine culture unlike anything else on Earth. Here, wine is not a product — it’s a cultural identity. And as a resident, you’ll be able to enjoy it in local vineyards, at family tables, and at vibrant festivals all year round.

Cities That Pulse With Energy and Culture

Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi — each Georgian city offers a distinct atmosphere. Tbilisi, the capital, is a melting pot of history and creativity, where Art Nouveau buildings rub shoulders with modern coworking spaces, and jazz bars stand next to ancient churches.

Batumi is Georgia’s Black Sea gem — a city with a resort vibe, a futuristic skyline, and a magnetic nightlife. Kutaisi, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe, blends a laid-back lifestyle with a deep historical legacy. These cities are vibrant, artistic, and alive — and they’re still affordable.

A Land of Natural Wonders

In Georgia, nature is everywhere — and it’s spectacular. You can ski down the slopes of Gudauri in the morning and swim in the Black Sea by the afternoon. The diversity of landscapes is staggering: alpine meadows, subtropical coastlines, deep canyons, glacial lakes, and forested valleys.

Every season brings a new perspective on this raw and untouched country. For outdoor lovers, Georgia is a dreamland of hiking, skiing, canyoning, paragliding, or just peaceful contemplation.

Education: Quality Schools for International Families

If you’re moving to Georgia with children, you’ll find a range of well-regarded international schools that offer high-quality education in English, French, German, and other languages.

Many schools follow internationally recognized curriculums such as the International Baccalaureate (IB), and cater to both local and expat communities. With small class sizes, caring staff, and a multicultural environment, students here benefit from personalized attention and a global mindset.

Some notable institutions include:

  • British International School
