About the road from Kutaisi International Airport (KUT) to Sarpi (Border)
Kutaisi Airport to Sarpi is about 143 km and takes roughly 2 hours 15 minutes. The road runs west across the Colchis plain to the coast, then south along the shoreline through Kobuleti and Batumi, with the sea on your right and the Adjaran hills rising steeply on your left. Sarpi is the last village in Georgia — a narrow strip of pebble beach and houses pressed between the mountain and the water, ending at the Turkish border post. Many travellers come simply for the beach, which is one of the clearest stretches on this coast; others are heading for the crossing itself.
Tips for this trip
If you are crossing into Turkey, this transfer takes you to the border, not through it — you walk across and arrange onward transport on the Turkish side. Carry your passport and check visa rules for your nationality in advance. Queues at Sarpi are longest in the afternoon and at weekends. If the beach is your goal, the pebbles are large and the water deepens quickly, so it suits swimmers more than small children. Gonio fortress is ten minutes back towards Batumi and is an easy addition — mention it when booking.
