What October is good for
Head inland for the harvest: Rtveli in Imereti runs through October, and Kutaisi, at about 22 °C, is warmer and much drier than the coast. Mountain Adjara usually turns gold, with Khulo near 19 °C by day and 7 °C at night, and the Goderdzi Pass road is normally still open. Goderdzi itself cools to about 13 °C. Up the coast, Poti marks Phazisoba, its city day, on the last weekend of October.
