The drive from Tbilisi to Kobuleti covers 340 km and takes about 4 hours and 25 minutes. You leave Tbilisi and head west, passing through the plains of eastern Georgia before entering the foothills of the Lesser Caucasus. The route then opens into the broad valleys of western Georgia, with the landscape becoming greener as you approach the Black Sea coast. Most travelers break the journey in Kutaisi or Samtredia, where there are places to stretch and grab a bite. A private car makes sense here because you can stop when you want, keep your luggage with you, and be dropped off right at your guesthouse in Kobuleti, rather than dealing with transfers or schedules.
It's best to start early in the morning to avoid any delays and arrive in Kobuleti by afternoon. The route is mostly flat, so no special vehicle is needed, but having your own driver means you can adjust the pace. Bring some cash for small cafes along the way, as not all accept cards. If you're traveling with children, let the driver know in advance so they can provide appropriate seating. There's no border crossing, so no passport is required beyond standard ID. Pack a light jacket just in case, but the climate is generally mild.
