Georgia Route from Tioneti to Zhinvali
Hi there, does anyone know if the route from Tioneti to Zhinvali ist doable.
It´s marked as a minor road or "other road".
Both GPS devices don´t suggest this road...
As always the locals vary from "on a donkey, yes!" to "perfect road".
I have to decide beforehand
Would appreciate any advice.

Haven't driven it but I'm 99% sure it is fine, as long as you're not in a Lamborghini.

I drove from Mtskheta to Khevsureti (Shatili etc) and passed a little bit of that route. The road was pretty OK and I vaguely remember the junction to Tianeti.
I hope you have the time to visit the mountains. Svaneti, Tusheti, Khevsureti and Racha are all fascinating destinations with beautiful views.

I´ve been to Mestia. I arrived in rain, the next day the rain stopped for one day and then started again for a week, so I left to Tbilisi. I´ll stay two days in Stepantsminda.

So I did that road, which was rough but very scenic.
I liked it very much, but my tires didn´t.

Thanks for that.
