Telavi is a city and the capital of the Kakheti region of Georgia.
Hitching out
East towards Sighnaghi, Azerbaijan
From the the bus/minibus stand, walk past it downhill and take the main road to your right. Follow this road for 15-20 minutes to an intersection where you turn left, walking downhill again. After passing some petrol stations this road passes through a forested, semi-urban area. Keep walking straight ahead until you see a big petrol station/service area on the left side of the road. Pass it for 25 meters and hitchhike on the right side.
This is quite a walk from the city center, so alternatively, hop on any marshrutka (minibus) heading east and just tell the driver to stop when you approach the petrol station.
