It's along walk (45 minutes) out of the city center too get to the edge of town. Direct lift to Seki within 20 minutes though.―Anonymous

Silent roundabout with dogs sunbathing on the streets, careless of the few cars almost running over them.Almost all cars turn left (north-east) to Zemo Kedi, only one in half a hour went straight to Kasritskali. I got ignored by the minibus to Sabatlo, the farthest village at 3:30pm, but I'm sure you can catch it earlier in Dedoplis Tskaro.
I continued to Kvemo Kedi by 2 different rides by couples of english speaking youth, i camped at the Caravan Camping (see Google maps), astonishing views.
I came again here at 3pm this time by minibus, the driver literally shouted to a truck and stopped him for me. We arrived to Kasritskali after a hour of dirt agricultural roads and even crossed the Shiraki abandoned airport!

Shortcut to Kasritskali, dirt road unknown to Google Maps, suggested by people in the last shop of Kvemo Kedi (next to Caravan Camping, see Google Maps). It's wiser to start walking and find a car on the way.I waited here one hour and hitchhiked to both this (1car/10minutes) and the main road going southeast (1 car/5minutes). Seems like everyone stops nearby as 3 cars tried to help me. Finally, a turkish speaking lady said i should be very lucky to find someone driving all 8km, so i gave up and went back to the Kvemo Kedi - Tbilisi bus stop, where i laughed with the girl in the shop and took it at 2:30pm after one more hour without rides. Minibus departs also 8:30pm and it can make you catch the coincidence from Dedoplis to Kasritskali at 3:30pm. The driver stopped a truck for me at the roundabout down in the plan - see my other pins 📍
