In the city, buses depart from the stop at the address: Shota Rustaveli Avenue 9A (near the tourist information center).
Stop on the map:
It is easy to find a bus at the airport - when you exit the building, you will see a stop (there will be a sign on the bus that says Kutaisi International Airport).
Travel time is 30-50 minutes (depending on traffic).
There is another option - go to the road and catch minibus number 8, but we did not find its schedule, cost, or information on whether it runs at all. If you know anything about this, please write in the comments.
Taxi
There are private taxi drivers on duty at the entrance to the airport. It is more expensive than using taxi applications. There is free internet at the airport, so downloading the app and calling a taxi is easy. We tried the Bolt and Maksim apps, the price of the trip was about 25-30 GEL.
Kutaisi International Airport railway station located a few kilometers from the airport. We do not recommend walking – it is about half an hour by road, but if you need to leave by rail, then taking a taxi to this station is quite well.
