Where to stay in Sarpi
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
The Laz houses along the shore are not a hotel district. Batumi holds the hotel stock for this coast, a short run back up the Black Sea shore, and most people who come out to the Turkish border do it as a day trip from a room in the city. A stay in Sarpi itself buys the water, the frontier, and quiet. Sarpi suits a night, Batumi a week.
Choose it if you want the crossing into Turkey at first light instead of a night out in Batumi.

Sarpi shore
The Black Sea comes up to the doorsteps and the border shuts the road a few paces further on, so the village is water, frontier and very little in between. Rooms are few around here — worth securing early.Find hotels in Sarpi shoreA city base with Sarpi kept as a half-day run down the coastBatumi

About Sarpi
What are the main landmarks in Sarpi?
Sarpi's sights are geography, not architecture. The Black Sea takes the whole western edge of the village and the border with Turkey shuts the southern end, so the distance between the two is a short walk on foot. Between the Laz houses and the Turkish line there is no listed monument.
Anything monumental is up the coast in Batumi.
What is the history of Sarpi?
Sarpi keeps its history in its people rather than in a founding year. The village is Laz, and no charter date is set against its name. Its one fixed fact is the border with Turkey.
The line between Georgia and Turkey runs at the end of the village, and what Sarpi has become since it was drawn is a crossing point on the last piece of Georgian coast.
Where is Sarpi?
The village takes the last stretch of Georgia's Black Sea shore, pinched between the water and the Turkish border, with Batumi up the coast behind it.
