How do you get from Ukraine to Georgia?
Via neighbouring countries by air, or overland via Turkey.
Short answer
There are currently no direct flights from Ukraine to Georgia, so travellers first go to a neighbouring country such as Poland, Moldova or Romania and fly from there to Tbilisi, Kutaisi or Batumi. Overland, buses run through Turkey to the Sarpi crossing near Batumi. Ukrainian citizens need no visa for Georgia and can stay visa-free for up to a year.
Why
- Low-cost flights to Kutaisi run from Warsaw, Chisinau and other cities.
- The bus route through Turkey is long but cheaper.
- Since 2026 tourists need health insurance to enter Georgia.
Details
Routes and schedules change, so check before you travel. Keep your documents and insurance on your phone and on paper.
Tip
Keep boarding passes and bookings, as border officers may ask about the purpose and length of your trip.
What may differ
Possible routes depend on open borders and flights in neighbouring countries and may change.
