Money & costs
How much does Stepantsminda cost?
Georgia uses the Georgian lari (GEL). ATMs are available in central Stepantsminda and cards work in many hotels, restaurants and supermarkets, but cash is still important for small guesthouses, drivers, shared transfers, guides and remote villages. There are no ATMs in Truso, Juta or the smaller mountain villages, so withdraw what you need in town rather than assuming a machine or card terminal will be available once you leave it. Machines can also run empty during busy summer weekends.
