Private 6-Day Two-Country Black Sea: Batumi, Artvin, Ayder & Uzungöl (Georgia to Turkey)
Overview
A private 6-day trip that starts in Batumi, Georgia and crosses into Turkey’s Eastern Black Sea, ending at Trabzon Airport. It is ideal if you are already in Georgia, or if you find cheaper flights to Batumi (BUS) than to Trabzon.
Your own licensed guide every day: every departure includes a private, licensed English-speaking guide plus a private vehicle and driver – only your group, never strangers. Prices are per person and get lower the more people travel together (1 to 8 travellers).
Two days in and around Batumi are followed by four days in Artvin and Rize: forest lakes, mountain plateaus and tea terraces. Departures are daily from mid-May to mid-October.
