Why

  1. Ureki's black magnetic sand beach slopes gently and suits children.
  2. Minibuses are frequent in summer and less so off-season.
  3. The train is handy if you're coming from Tbilisi or Kutaisi.

For a day trip, leave in the morning, as the last minibuses back leave in the evening. Ureki is busy in season, so book accommodation ahead.
