You'll get them from the FAi, they'll probably announce details in August. You apply and pay through your FAI account.

http://www.caucasianchallenge.com/2014/09/tbilisis-famous-baths-one-visit/

The royal bath house caters for parties of 2 persons and up to 10 people with private couches and sofas. After getting a good scrub similar to the Turkish hamam, you should start feeling the benefit of this experience. I can see a few heads falling out of the Hanger Bar or McClarens strutting their way to one of these sulphur baths to sweat off the previous nights gargle.

Matchday, this would go down a treat, as some of the crew from the last visit here could have done with a good scrub downLOL

My itinerary is Monday Kutaisi, Tuesday & Wednesday Batumi. Thursday, Friday, Saturday Tbilisi & Sunday Kutaisi. I'm getting a Revolut card for this trip, seems to be the way to go. 
How much spending money would one need for the trip? 
Here we go again

Have a Revolut card well over a year, use it at home as much as my normal bank card. But it's the best way to save on the exchanges when travelling

Definitely worth a visit.  Went there the last time and it definitely knocked a few days off my recovery period when i got home.

www.railway.ge train tickets for the train up from Batumi. The 18:55 from Batumi is the one you want. First class is under a tenner.

Other than that, less than €50 a day spending money out there. It's not western Europe, nor are the prices. I'd imagine, once accommodation and trains are paid for, €300 would be plenty for your trip, assuming you're on your lonesome.
