The road out of Tbilisi slides westward, the city’s concrete edges giving way to folded ridges of the Likhi Range and then to the low, humid plains that push toward the Black Sea. In a private transfer the landscape becomes part of the itinerary: steep karst slopes give way to wide river valleys and finally the slow, brackish smell of coastal marshes as Batumi’s skyline appears on the horizon.
