Batumi is a city in Georgia on the Black Sea, an important port and border crossing to Turkey.

Hitchhiking out

Northeast to Samtredia

A good strategy for hitchhiking northeast is to take a marshrutka from the taxi stand at the eastern end of Chavchavadze St., where it joins the main coastal road, to the town of Kobuleti about 20 km north. Get off at the first (southernmost) stop in Kobuleti, follow the northeast road for a couple of hundred metres, and just after the railroad tracks there is an interection with a sign for Samtredia.

South towards Turkey

The road south enters Turkey at the Sarp-Sarpi border crossing.

Sleeping

The cheapest sleeping is around the bazaar, where there are some cheap hotels and nearly every family rents out rooms. Even in high season a room for two people can be had for 20 lar.
