I am trying to explore travel from
Istanbul to Tbilisi:
Istanbul to Batumi:
Istanbul to Hopa:
Hopa to Batumi:
Batumi to Tbilisi:

Has anyone explored this route?
How else can I reach Tbilisi? Batumi?

Flying to Georgia through any other ports is too expensive and the waiting time is just too much.

Batumi and the Ski places in Georgia are well known resorts. Unfortunetly, we seem to have no readers who are into Eastern Europe countries of Georgia and Armenia.
