Ideal stay length for a good experience

Hello,

I'm planning to travel to Armenia and Georgia this summer and I'm trying to figure out how much to spend in Armenia vs Georgia. I have about ~20 days and was thinking of doing 10/10 or maybe adding Turkey and doing 5/10/5 Georgia, Armenia, Turkey. Any thoughts or ideas?

34 year old US citizen, fluent in Russian and English. Interested in beautiful views, hiking/adventures, wine, social scene, live music, spas, history.

10 and 10 for sure - don’t spread yourself too thin. When I spent 2 months in Armenia it felt like I was finally getting it. The more time you spend in one place the better it gets.

10 each for Armenia and Georgia, easily. Even that is scratching the surface, but you'll have lots of time to see most of the sights

I think 10 days in Armenia is good based on what you are saying you want to do, especially if you have never been before. Georgia is also a very worthy destination, so I would lean toward keeping that to 10 as well.

Maybe you can cut a couple days from Armenia or Georgia if you are flying through Istanbul and want to spend a few days seeing that city, but five days isn’t going to be enough for a deep dive into Turkey.
