The Majestic Stone Arch Bridge of Makhuntseti

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving, start by heading towards Batumi. From Batumi, take the E70 highway towards Keda. Continue on the E70 for approximately 20 kilometers until you reach the turnoff for Makhuntseti. Follow the signs for Makhuntseti and take the right turn onto a local road (usually marked). Continue on this road for about 6 kilometers until you reach Zeda Makhuntseti. The Stone Arch Bridge is located in the village, and you can park nearby. Ensure you have a GPS or a map application, as local signposting may vary.

• Public Transportation

  To reach the Stone Arch Bridge using public transportation, start at Batumi Central Bus Station. Look for marshrutkas (minibuses) heading towards Keda or Makhuntseti. The fare is usually between 2 to 5 GEL. The journey takes about 30 to 40 minutes. Ask the driver to drop you off at Makhuntseti or Zeda Makhuntseti. From there, the bridge is a short 10 to 15-minute walk. Follow local signs or ask locals for directions if needed.

• Taxi

  If you prefer a more direct option, consider taking a taxi from Batumi to Makhuntseti. You can either book a taxi through a mobile app or hail one on the street. The fare should be around 30 to 50 GEL, depending on your negotiation skills and traffic conditions. The driver will take you directly to the bridge area, where you can easily access it on foot.
