Batumi is a couple of tens of kilometers from the Turkish border.

Georgian residents can visit Turkey and stay there for a certain amount of time using their internal identity cards.
Near the border, in the village & laquo; Kemal Pasha & raquo ;, in Turkey there is a large shopping center. There you can cheaply buy clothes. Many Georgian citizens and tourists with the opportunity cross the border to treat themselves to shopping.
Currency exchange is best done in Georgia, and immediately to Turkish lira, as the exchange rate is more profitable. Many car owners drive their cars to the border, leave the car and cross it on foot. Minibuses await them abroad, which will take them to the shopping center.
