In Svaneti, all roads lead to Mestia. This small but busy town is where everyone meets and hangs out. Its central streets, with their cafés with free wifi and open terraces, are always filled with hikers, campers, mountain climbers and just plain tourists stopping in on their way up or down the mountain valleys for food, drink and information. Café Laila, in Seti Square, is a main hub; it’s open till late, and popular for everything from coffee to dinner. Tel: +995 577577677
