Find out how to get to Batumi via Turkey⬇️
After the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, many countries have restricted entry to vacationers. However, borders are gradually opening up, and new opportunities are emerging to visit popular tourist destinations.
Here we will tell you how to get from Moscow to the Black Sea coast in Batumi with a transfer in Istanbul. This method may seem strange to some, because Turkey is a tourist country in itself, but we are convinced that Georgia conquers the hearts of tourists more often and more strongly.
Moscow – Istanbul – Batumi route
Different airlines offer their services on this route, flights depart several times a day. The best option would be to choose a flight with a single ticket and a long transfer. So there will be time to take a break from the flight and turn the road into part of the journey.
