== Hitching out == === Northeast to [[Poti]], [[Samtredia]], ===
From the city centre, walk northeast on Chavchavadze St. under you see a tall building with a Coca-Cola advertisement on top of it. You can thumb here, though you'll have to be careful not to attract the many ''marshrutkas'' and taxis driving by. This is after the bypass joins the main road, so you might even stop a truck.
== South towards [[Turkey]] ==
Just walk towards the south of Batumi and get on the big road to Turkey. Hitch a ride with anyone going to the border and cross it on foot. The wait won't be long if you're not from Georgia or Turkey. From there, go right and hitch along the coast. Or take bus 101 from the Central Bus Station, it goes directly to the border, 1 ticket is around 80 Tetri. The road south enters Turkey at the [[Sarp-Sarpi border crossing]]and a ticket costs around 80 tetri.
