Georgia (Tbilisi)

Tbilisi remains Europe’s best-kept secret, featuring sulfur baths, a 4th-century fortress, and a wine tradition older than France’s—a full Georgian feast with unlimited wine at a family-run restaurant costs just $10. This destination offers visa-free entry for most nationalities and a cost of living that makes Southeast Asia look expensive, outperforming #1 Portugal (Algarve) in overall affordability by 30%. Average monthly expenses of $600 include accommodation and dining, with wine prices 80% lower than in Paris.
