Turkey/Georgia Trip 2026 : Day 7 (Border Crossing into Georgia)

This is the Turkish side of the border crossing at Sarp.

Only limited photos here as it’s a border crossing and so there is some sensitivity. But, I was excited about entering Georgia, it’s the first that I’ve been to the country.

And here we are, safely into Georgia. I was given a friendly welcome, but Jonathan had a rather more laborious entry although I think that’s because he’s too jovial and people don’t have time for all that.

The guest is a gift from God…..

And where Europe meets Asia…

There aren’t a vast amount of facilities here and there are only toilets on the Georgian side, which aren’t exactly the most pristine arrangement that I’ve ever seen.

There are large EU and Georgian flags flying.

With that, we were in the Georgian town of Sarpi and it was time to look for yet another bus that would take us into Batumi.
