Tbilisi Marshrutka Stations:Didube Avto Saadguri - didube avto sadguri - Didube avto sadguri is located north ofTbilisi's railway terminal (Tbilisi Central - Tbilisi centrali) by a few kilometers and islocated on Akaki Tsereteli Ave. (akaki wereTeli). Didube is also an exit on Tbilisi's wellmarked Metro system (Line #1). Didube is the main marshrutka station in Tbilisi and hasroutes that cover the majority of the country's larger cities.

Ortachala Avto Saadguri - orTaWala avto Sadguri - Ortachala avto sadguri is locatedin the southern end of Tbilisi along Vakhtang Gorgasali St. (vaxtang gorgasali). If you aretraveling to the east of the country, look to Ortachala and Samgoir Avto Saadguri's beforegoing to Didube.

Samgori Avto Saadguri - samgori avto sadguri - Samgori avto sadguri is located in thesouth end of Tbilisi, like Ortachala. Samgori is located on the opposite side of the MtkvariRiver from Ortachala. Samgori avto saadguri is located on Ketevan Dedopali St. (keTevandedofali). Samgori Metro Station is also a stop on Tbilisi's Metro line (Line #1).

Tbilisi is a fairly large metropolitan city and as such a simplified map that would lessen atraveller's confusion cannot be made (at least by me). If traveling in Tbilisi, a map shouldbe handy, or a good smart device with a SIM card for local networks. All of these marshrutkastations are easily accessible by foot from the center of Tbilisi (Old Town)if one alots enoughtime to explore the neighborhoods.

Tbilisi

As a traveller in Georgia, the first thing you should do is make some form of personalinterraction with the locals. Whether you say, "hello" in English or whatever is yournative tongue, do so. Even better if you say, "gamarjot" (gaa-mar-joh-bot). Georgianpeople are very reserved in their street-side manners, that is unless they know youor they are engaged by you, the traveller. Your Georgian experience will directly dependupon your willingness to step outside the traveller's bubble, where you simply observethough interract little with your hosts. Say, "hello" to those you meet on the street.Use your lexicon/dictionary as a tool to open up doors. It works.

Now, get lost, or semi-lost. Georgia isn't a large country, so get out on the roads. Takea marshrutka instead of hiring a guide or a taxi if you have to time to serendipitouslymeander a bit in the country. The time spent will well be worth it in the end. You willhave stories. Not all good, but the good ones will far outweigh the negative ones, andthose negatives oftentimes lead to the best stories anyways. Get out there, get lost.Drink Georgian wine. Interact with the locals on the marshrutkas. You just may findyourself the guest at a 'supra'. If so, and you like wine or vodka (chacha), God help you.Gaumarjos!

Also, marshrutkas may not run on time.Expect this.

This map is free for private individuals to use and print, republish,etc., as long as it isn't monetized. Organizations should contactthe map's author and seek permission prior to use.

By no means is this map inclusive of allcities or villages in Georgia. It wouldbe impossible to make one in a humantimeframe. This map is simply to provideenough information to the traveller sothat that traveller can begin to getwonderfully lost.

Also, as an American, coming from anobscenely litigious culture, I feel that Imust state that if you use this map whiletraveling, you do so at your own risk.

If this map aids you in having a great time,I'd like to take some small credit though.

Without the assistance of Ana, Xalime, Inga, Amiran, Ciala, Irakli, and all theanonyous marshrutka drivers I spoke with, this map wouldn't have beenpossible. didi madloboT! (Big Thank You!).
