Need to Know
The tour program generally includes Batumi, Rize, Ayder, Uzungöl, and surrounding plateaus; it is important to review the detailed itinerary and included-excluded services in advance: Knowing how much time will be spent in which city or plateau on which day, travel times, and free time intervals will help you manage your expectations and make personal plans more easily. Also, knowing what is included in the tour price (transportation, guidance, certain meals, museum/archaeological site entrances, etc.) and what is extra in advance is important to avoid unexpected expenses later on. A valid new type ID card or passport is required for entry into Batumi; the visa situation and current border crossing rules should be checked before the tour: Turkish citizens are required to carry a valid new type ID card or passport when entering Georgia; old type IDs are generally not accepted. Additionally, since there may be periodic changes in visa applications, border crossing hours, or additional document requirements, you must confirm the current rules from official sources or your tour operator before the tour. The climate in the Eastern Black Sea region is rainy and variable throughout the year; waterproof rain gear, waterproof shoes, seasonally suitable warm clothing, and spare clothes should be included: As sunshine, rain, and fog can occur together on the same day in the region, being prepared for sudden weather changes is vital for a comfortable trip. Even a lightweight waterproof jacket, quick-drying clothes, and layers will help you stay warm in the cool and minimize discomfort from getting wet in the rain. Since hiking, plateau tours, and photo breaks are frequent, comfortable walking shoes, a small backpack, and personal medications should be carried with you: Supportive ankle-stabilizing, non-slip soles, and comfortable walking shoes can prevent possible injuries on rocky, sloping, and sometimes muddy plateau paths. A lightweight backpack will allow you to easily carry water, snacks, spare clothes, and personal medications (prescription medications, stomach medications, pain relievers, etc.), so you can meet your needs throughout the day without returning to the bus. Generally, additional lunch meals, certain entrance fees, personal expenses, and international phone/internet costs are not included in the tour price; learning about non-inclusive expenses and planning your budget is essential: Especially for meal breaks, coffee breaks, souvenir shopping, and possible costs for cable cars, museums, or events in Batumi, these are usually not reflected in the tour price. Therefore, calculating your average daily spending amount in advance, checking the international package or internet usage fees for your phone line, and setting aside an extra budget accordingly will help you feel more financially comfortable during your vacation. Accommodations are mostly made in double rooms at city center or plateau hotels; single room differences, room type preferences, and breakfast/dinner arrangements should be clarified before purchasing the tour: Tour prices are generally calculated per person based on double occupancy, so if you will be staying alone, you need to know in advance whether you will have to pay a "single room" difference. Additionally, details such as the hotel's location, room view, bathroom type, and whether breakfast and dinner are buffet or set menu can affect your accommodation experience, so clarifying this information during the sales stage prevents potential disappointments.
