A drive south from Batumi along the sea, all the way to the Turkish border and back. We start at the Roman fortress of Gonio, then go to Sarpi to ride the swings above the sea and look at the border crossing. On the way back we walk to the small St Andrew Waterfall and stop by the runway, where planes land right over your head. Then the driver takes you up either to Sameba Monastery on the hill or to the upper viewpoint of the city cable car, and we finish at the moving Ali and Nino statue on the seafront. Departure at 10:00, or at 15:00 if you'd like to catch the sunset at Ali and Nino.

  • Gonio Fortress, a Roman stronghold right by the sea
  • The Sarpi swings and a view of the Turkish border
  • Planes overhead by the airport runway
  • A finish at the Ali and Nino statue, best at sunset

We don't request or store documents (driving licence, vehicle registration) — what exactly we don't verify is listed honestly below.
What we don't verify
  • We do not collect or store documents: passports, licenses, vehicle registration. Verification happens at an in-person meeting, not through file uploads.
  • We do not perform technical inspections of vehicles and have no authority to do so.
  • We do not verify insurance or confirm its existence.
  • We are not involved in payment and are not a party to your transaction.
  • We do not issue or confirm licenses, certifications or professional credentials. Those are external documents that the platform doesn't manage.
