What is the safest and most convenient driving route from Batumi, Georgia, to Göreme in Cappadocia, Turkey?
Travelers who drove in August 2026 recommend the route Batumi — Sarpi border crossing — Rize — Trabzon — Sivas — Kayseri — Göreme: the road was fine all the way, and Trabzon and Sivas work well for overnight stops. The alternative via Erzurum and the Vale crossing runs through the mountains, with switchbacks and almost no settlements, so it feels long and dull.
