Dvabzuდვაბზუ
Skip Dvabzu unless you want a quiet half-day in rural Guria: one sight (the ethnographic museum) and a 4th-century church, then back to Ozurgeti or Batumi.
Dvabzu is a small Guria village 6 km east of Ozurgeti, known for its agricultural landscape and a few heritage buildings. The main draw is the ethnographic museum in an old wooden house and the Dvabzu church with 4th-century stone walls. You can see both in 1–2 hours, then return to Ozurgeti or continue to Batumi. Most travellers should skip it unless they have a specific interest in rural Georgian life.

Rules in force · 6The Armenia–Azerbaijan and Armenia–Türkiye land borders a…Georgia treats entry to Abkhazia or South Ossetia from Ru…Do not plan travel to Abkhazia or South Ossetia
- Caucasus ↗The Armenia–Azerbaijan and Armenia–Türkiye land borders are closed; any route that crosses them is not a route, however short it looks.
- Caucasus ↗Georgia treats entry to Abkhazia or South Ossetia from Russia as illegal; entering that way can mean arrest or a ban when you next reach Georgia proper.
- Georgia ↗Many passports enter visa-free for a long stay; if yours needs a visa, apply only on the official e-visa portal.
- Georgia ↗Do not plan travel to Abkhazia or South Ossetia: crossing their boundary lines from Georgian-controlled land is treated as illegal entry, and many governments advise against it.
- Georgia ↗In Orthodox churches women cover their heads and shoulders and wear a skirt or a wrap; men remove hats and avoid shorts.
- Georgia ↗Carry Georgian lari in small notes for minibuses, markets and the metro card; cards work in most Tbilisi cafés and shops but not everywhere outside the capital.
Entry rules depend on your passport. Full visa guide
