Travel Logistics in Georgia: what actually matters to know

Short answer
For travel to Batumi, consider flying via Mineralnye Vody instead of Sochi to avoid potential airspace disruptions. In Batumi, taxis are more economical than electric scooters, while the RZD train provides a convenient, comfortable option for travel to Yerevan.

From real experience

For travel to Batumi, consider alternative flight routes if you are concerned about potential disruptions in Sochi.
Recent reports suggest that flights through Sochi might experience delays or cancellations due to airspace issues. Flying via Mineralnye Vody is suggested as a more stable alternative. If flights from Sochi are canceled or significantly delayed (over 30 minutes from a specified date), ticket refunds may be possible, even for non-refundable tickets. Check the airport's online schedule the day before your flight for real-time updates.

Regarding travel to Trabzon, Turkey: Turkish car insurance can be expensive.
Trabzon itself is described as busy with narrow streets, though it offers many shops and a large mall. For a more comprehensive experience including mountains, waterfalls, tea museums, and plantations, it's recommended to allocate at least two days. Rize is suggested as a more modern and relaxed alternative. Weather patterns for the coast in July/August are not specified.
