We only did Georgia and Armenia on our way to Iran, so can't comment on Azerbaijan.
In Georgia, besides the places already mentioned also worthwhile are: - Gergeti Monastery near Stepantsminda, off the military highway. Prepare for a very bumpy ride
- Ushguli cave city
- Vardzia cave city
- Khatsi pillar
- Chiatura cable carts
- Sighnaghi village
But most of all the scenery in the Caucasus mountains, especially in Svaneti and Kazbegi.
In Armenia we particulary liked: - Hayravank Monastery. Imho at least as nice as Sevanavank, but less crowded.
- Geghard monastery. Imho the most interesting of the many many monasteries in Armenia
- Tatev monestary + the road up there.
- Views on Mount Ararat from the Urtsadzor-Vedi road
- Landscapes around Arevik NP
Ferries go from Batumi and Poti to Odessa, taking a Ferry from Baku to Odessa would be a pretty amazing feat
