Batumi Airport to Ureki is about 59 km and takes roughly 1 hour. The road passes through Batumi and then follows the coast north past Kobuleti and Shekvetili before reaching Ureki, where the beach changes character entirely: the sand here is dark, fine and magnetic, from the magnetite in it, and that is the reason the place has been a family and health resort for decades. The strip is set back behind pine, so it feels greener and calmer than the resorts immediately south, and the water shelves gently enough that it is a common choice for families with small children.
The black sand gets genuinely hot in midsummer — bring something for your feet and an umbrella, because natural shade on the beach itself is limited. Ureki fills up in July and August, largely with families, and empties almost completely by October. It is small: give your driver the street or guesthouse name, not just the town. Shekvetili with its park is ten minutes back towards Batumi if you want a day out. The magnetic sand is often described in health terms locally — enjoyable either way, but treat the claims as folklore rather than medicine.

|---|---|---|---|---|

| Taxi (street / app) | yes | metered or negotiated at pick-up | about 1 h 0 min | limited for long routes; luggage space varies |

Third-party options are listed for orientation only — OrbiTrip books private transfers. A per-car transfer is usually the cheapest door-to-door option for 2+ people with luggage; for a solo traveller on a budget the train or marshrutka may cost less.
Your driver tracks the flight and waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign; waiting is free if the flight is delayed. After booking you receive the driver's phone number — call or message on WhatsApp if you cannot find each other. Pay the driver in cash. Payment is cash only, to the driver; no prepayment.
