Still a day free before you fly? Two of our day trips from Batumi go inland: Prometheus Cave and Martvili Canyon near Kutaisi, and the mountains of Adjara.
The bus is the simple way between the coast and Kutaisi: about 150 km, 2-3 hours, and departures through the day. The search form above shows buses, minivans and marshrutkas for your date with the fare before you pay, and takes cards from any country. In Batumi the departure point depends on the carrier and is in the booking details.
Some buses from Batumi finish right at Kutaisi Airport; Georgian Bus, for example, sells Batumi - Kutaisi Airport tickets on its own website. Buses to and from the airport are tied to flight times, so book the one that matches yours rather than the first one of the day.
If your bus finishes in Kutaisi city, a shuttle runs from the centre to the airport around the clock, roughly every two hours. It takes about 40 minutes and costs 5 GEL, by bank card only.
From Batumi the road runs north along the sea to Kobuleti, then turns inland across the flat lowlands of Guria and Imereti to Kutaisi. There are no mountain passes on the way, so the time depends mostly on the stops.
The Batumi - Tbilisi train leaves from Batumi-Central station on Tamar Mepe highway and stops at Kutaisi International Airport station, 1.8 km from the terminal; a free shuttle covers the gap. See our guide to trains in Georgia.
