About the road from Batumi International Airport (BUS) to Bakhmaro
Batumi Airport to Bakhmaro is about 125 km and takes far longer than that distance suggests, because the final climb from Chokhatauri is unpaved mountain road. You head north along the coast, turn inland through Guria, and then wind up through dense forest onto an open ridge at roughly 2,050 m. Bakhmaro is a summer settlement of wooden houses spread across alpine meadow, valued for generations for its unusual air — the meeting of sea and mountain climates at altitude. There is no resort in the modern sense; people come for the setting and the quiet.
Tips for this trip
This is a summer-only route, usually open from around late June to early October, and the road is not maintained outside that window — confirm before booking and insist on a 4x4. Even in August take warm clothing: evenings at 2,050 m are cold and the ridge clouds over most afternoons. Shops are minimal, so bring what you need. Mobile coverage is patchy; agree the return time before setting off. The horse races in August are the busiest week of the year and accommodation goes early. Allow far more time than the distance implies.
