The international airport in Tbilisi has flights to and from major European, Middle Eastern and former Soviet cities. For Silk Road sites far from the capital there are air or road transport links. Both Vani and the Gonia Fortress are not far from local airports.

The road network is almost universally asphalt; however, petrol can sometimes be hard to obtain outside of the capital, so ensure you are well supplied before you head to the countryside.
