Batumi skyline and Black Sea waterfront on Georgia's Adjara coast

The drive from Kutaisi International Airport (KUT) to Batumi takes about 1 hour 55 minutes over roughly 124 km, following the coast down to the Black Sea. It is our shortest long-distance route and a popular one for beach holidays.

Batumi is Georgia's summer capital on the Black Sea — beaches, a lively seafront and a mild climate. It is the closest major resort to Kutaisi Airport, which makes it one of our most-booked transfers, especially in summer.

We drive families, couples and groups directly to their hotel or apartment. For travellers who want to see more of the coast, we also run day trips to Mtirala National Park and the villages of Adjara.

What you'll see in Batumi

From Kutaisi Airport to the Black Sea coast

The route begins in the lowlands around Kutaisi Airport and runs west toward the coast before turning south for Batumi. It is mostly an intercity drive rather than a mountain journey, but summer traffic, rain and road works can affect the timing. The final approach passes through the busy coastal area north of Batumi, where traffic can slow at popular travel times, so allow flexibility around a fixed check-in or onward departure.

Door-to-door pickup avoids the need to carry bags between an airport bus and local transport in Batumi. We can collect from the terminal or a Kutaisi address and drop the group at a hotel, apartment or other agreed point in the Batumi area. A precise map pin is useful because accommodation with similar names can be spread between the Old Town, New Boulevard and neighbourhoods outside the centre.

Planning a coast-focused stay

Batumi changes character through the year. Summer brings beach visitors and heavier traffic, while cooler months are quieter and often better suited to walking the boulevard, exploring the Old Town and using the city as a base for Adjara. Rain is possible in every season on this part of the coast. A light waterproof layer and footwear suitable for wet pavements are useful even when Kutaisi is dry at departure.

The city is long rather than compact, so the drop-off district matters. The Old Town and central boulevard suit travellers interested in restaurants and historic streets, while properties farther south may be closer to newer beach developments. If the next step is a border crossing or a trip into the hills of Adjara, mention that when booking; it may change the most sensible Batumi drop-off and the amount of time to reserve.

Luggage, family travel and optional pauses

Beach holidays often mean large suitcases, pushchairs or extra bags, so send the passenger and luggage count together. A vehicle that is comfortable for four people with small bags may not suit the same group with several full-size cases. Child seats should also be requested before the travel day. Keeping wet swim gear, food and valuables in separate accessible bags makes the transfer easier if a short stop is needed.

This route can stay a direct airport transfer or include a relaxed pause for food and views. Longer sightseeing detours should be agreed beforehand because they can turn a simple arrival day into a much longer outing. Travellers continuing elsewhere on the coast should share the final destination instead of assuming every address is in central Batumi; the coastline extends beyond the city and driving times vary accordingly.

Shuttle bus (Georgian Bus, Omnibus Express)About 2h–2h 15mTimed to arriving flights, ~1h after landingGogebashvili Street near the port, by the Radisson Blu
Train (Georgian Railway, from Kopitnari station)About 1h 50m2–4 daily, varies by seasonBatumi Central at Makhinjauri, ~6 km north of the centre

The train is the fastest way to cover this route at 1 hour 50 minutes, but it runs only a handful of times a day and arrives at Makhinjauri, roughly 6 km outside Batumi, so most travellers need an onward taxi. The airport shuttle runs to every flight and drops you near the port, though it does not serve individual hotels. A private transfer makes sense for arrivals outside daylight hours, for groups with beach or ski luggage, and when you want to be delivered to the door of an apartment rather than to a bus stop.
