About this episode

Disclaimer: At Tbilisi Podcast, we stand with the people of Georgia in their fight for their voices to be heard and for an end to the violence against citizens who speak out against the government. We support the ongoing efforts for change and recognise the bravery of those fighting for a better future.

However, it's important to acknowledge that the protests are concentrated in specific areas of major cities, and many people across the country still rely on tourism dollars, especially during the winter months. That’s why, despite the challenging situation, we’ve decided to continue releasing our latest podcast episodes, highlighting the incredible beauty and warmth of Georgia – a country that remains a vibrant, welcoming destination.

Tourism is crucial for many Georgians to support their families and communities, and without it, they face even greater hardship in their struggle for change. We urge you to support small Georgian businesses where you can, and enjoy the show as we continue to share the rich culture and resilience of this wonderful country.

The Tbilisi Podcast dives into the fascinating world of the Tbilisi Sulphur Baths, a must-visit experience for anyone traveling to Georgia. These historic baths, steeped in legend and tradition, offer a unique blend of relaxation and social interaction, making them the heartbeat of the city’s culture. Hosts Meg and Tom share their top picks for bathhouses, along with essential etiquette tips to ensure a smooth and enjoyable visit. They also discuss the medicinal benefits of sulfur water, which is believed to alleviate joint pain and improve skin health. With humor and insight, they provide a comprehensive guide to navigating the steamy delights of Tbilisi's famous baths, ensuring that travelers leave with unforgettable memories.
