I crossed the border from Turkey to Georgia about midnight last night.
There were no obvious exchange booths like at many borders but I didn't go into the duty free store.
I'm now in Tbilisi and most exchange places I've seen (of which there are many) only display rates for USD
, EUR
, and RUB
.
UPDATE
I've now been in Georgia almost seven months and can say that at least in Tbilisi and Batumi it is not hard to find money changers that deal in TRY
as well as AMD
and AZN
. But along with RUB
the rates are very bad. The rates for USD
and EUR
are fair though.

Lari to Lira exchange is not recommended, you should use USD as the middle currency. that way you would lose only acceptable exchange fees instead of very big margins.
