Travel by Bus to Batumi

Buses and shuttle vanes (marshrutkas) operate regularly between Batumi and Tbilisi. Travel duration is 6-7 hr. The fare is 25 lari as of September 2022. The scenery along the way is breathtaking.

Daily buses also operate between Batumi and Trabzon, Türkiye, with stops in Rize and the border crossing at Sarpi. Make sure you meet all visa requirements before crossing the border into Georgia. Buses will generally wait for you the other side of the border, but marshrutkas are less reliable.

There are two marshrutka stations. One has long distance shuttle vanes to Kutaisi, Tbilisi, Poti, etc. This station is close to the northern end of the promenade; just go east across the railway tracks. There is one marshrutka to Borjomi (10:00, 17 lari, 4.5 hours). The other, on Tbilisi Plaza, has marshrutkas to Sarpi (2 lari, 20 minutes).

How to travel to Batumi by car

Batumi is on the E70 and S2 roads, which stretch north to Poti and south into Türkiye and along the Turkish coast to Samsun. The E97 road connects Batumi with Abkhazia, Russia and Crimea to the north and also to Trabzon, Rize and Aşkale in Türkiye to the south.

Travel by train to Batumi

Batumi Central Station 41.658497,41.677547 about two kilometers north of the centre - Opening Hours: 06:00–01:00 Several local buses (No.2, No.15, No.8, etc.) go by the station – check out the live traffic here.

Georgian Railways operates several daily (+one night) fast trains between Batumi and Tbilisi. During the summer, an extra train Batumi-Tbilisi-Yerevan also operates. There are also slow trains to Kutaisi and Ozgureti, one pair each. Daily trains are typical by GCC standards. For the night trains and there are 3 classes: In first class and there are two people per cabin and the berths are a little short, narrow and hard but rather comfortable and linen is provided. First class costs 40 lari, second class costs 23 lari, seats cost 13 lari (do not rely on the latter though, a check at the station in March '19 suggests that this option is not always available). Since the schedule changes quite often, you can check before hand on the Georgian Railways Web site - be careful with the simplified version of the timetable - the Georgian version tends to be updated more often than the foreign ones (check the last update timestamp on both to be sure). However and the ticket booking system always has correct times.

Train tickets can be purchased online, which is the easiest as trains tend to fill up fast (except local ones). You can do it at the station or from an office in the old town at 5 General Mazniashvili Street (between Melashvili and Abashidze). This office is very plain and nondescript with no signs in English. The door and window frames are green and some metal chairs are visible inside. Hours are 09:00 to 18:00.

Unless taking the slow train to/from Kutaisi or Ozgureti, reserve your seats in advance on the weekends, as many Georgians flock to the seaside.

Travel by boat to Batumi

Ferries run from Sochi, Russia and from Ilyichevsk, near Odessa, Ukraine (US$145, 42 hours, irregular service). More boats are operated from Poti (5 lari with marshrutka and take one hour). It's a kind of Freighter travel. Probably best to call first to make inquiries, to avoid coming back from Poti empty-handed. The booking office is on Kutaisi 34, but the staff only speaks Russian and are not very helpful.

A boat operates between Sochi, Russia to Batumi, Georgia. It is a high speed hydrofoil which operates three times a week, Wednesdays at 10:30, Fridays at 09:30, Sundays at 10:30. In 2010 and the cost was 3,500 rubles for adults and 1,750 rubles for children. The number is +7-8622-609-622 or +7-918-409-12-96. Sochi port schedule

Shopping in Batumi

The main (open-air) food and clothes market in the city is on the Eastern side, near the sea on the main (Chavchavadze) street. In poor weather the sellers move down side streets under umbrellas and are harder to spot, but still there. Vegetables and grains are much cheaper here than at the smaller indoor 'markets' dotted around the town.

Closer to the main crossroads is 'tobacco street' (still on Chavchavadze). The salesmen are easily visible with their wares heaped up in bowls on stands. Prices start from about 50 lari a kilo (local residents can pay half this) and the product can be rather good. As always, watch the scales so as not to be ripped off. They are more than willing to make a small taster cigarette if requested.

As per usual in Georgia, prices are almost always slightly higher in the supermarkets than in the small family-run shops. Thit is counter to what most visitors will be used to. The difference is about 5% to 10%.

Halal Restaurants & Food in Batumi

Western Georgia has plenty of local flavours and a local specilaity is a type of khachapuri named acharuli khachapuri (Ajarian khachapuri) that resembles a Viking boat, with the Cheese all mixed up with an egg in the centre. Avoid this one if you have high cholesterol, but you'll be missing out as it's absolutely delicious.

The (vegan) Georgian classic, lobiani (kidney bean paste in bread or pastry) is available at any small bakery around the town. Most are 1 lari but can be up to 1.5. Perhaps the best lobianis in the city are sold just north of the crossection of K. Gamsakhurdia and V. Gorgasali streets, in a nondescript bakery opposite Carpisa and Georgian Kitchen.

Cafe Literaturuli | K. Gamsakhurdia Street 18 - near Europe Plaza (formerly Era Plaza) - This upscale bookstore-cafe has a number of branches in Tbilisi (in Kala, Vake, Vera and Saburtalo), but the Batumi location is all the more attractive given the relative dearth of good and service-oriented restaurants in Batumi. Coffees, cakes and basic Georgian sandwiches (plus khachapuri and lobiani) all available, although the menu seems more like a guideline to what might be available on any given day rather than a list of what's actually in the kitchen.

Stay Safe

Batumi is generally very safe. Drivers are more careful than in Tbilisi and the police are reliable for the high number of tourists coming through the city. However, more caution should be taken with street beggars than in Tbilisi. Very young children are often used as pickpockets, especially around the area just south of Batumi Piazza and beggars are generally more aggressive than in the capital.
