Sarpi, Batumi — Area Guide & Where to Stay
Sarpi is a Laz village on the Black Sea, the last of Batumi's coast before the border with Turkey.
About Sarpi
Where to stay in Sarpi
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
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.
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.
