What to Buy: Georgian wine (qvevri-produced reds), local honey, dried fruits, and spices make excellent souvenirs. Handwoven textiles, linen, and wool carpets reflect traditional craftsmanship. Khachapuri (cheese bread) and local cheese can be purchased fresh from markets.
Shopping Areas: Central Market (Bazaar) offers authentic Georgian products, produce, and souvenirs. Sakartvelo Avenue features tourist shops, cafes, and restaurants. Local artisan shops sell handmade crafts and traditional items.
Bargaining Tips: Markets expect negotiation; start 20-30% below asking prices. Respectful haggling is culturally accepted. Fixed prices apply in restaurants and tourist shops; negotiation is inappropriate there.
