Borjomi is a mineral water town that feels like a Soviet-era spa retreat. The air smells faintly of sulfur from the springs, and the bottle factory hums louder than traffic. You'll need Georgian or Russian to navigate daily life—English gets you blank stares at the market.

Winter hits hard in the gorge. The park shuts down, and pipes freeze unless you're in one of the Soviet bloc apartments with decent insulation. But that $257 rent gets you a walkable location where the mineral baths are cheaper than therapy.
