Buses depart from outside the terminal, timed to flight arrivals. Hopa is the gateway to the Sarp border crossing into Georgia, so this route is popular with travellers heading to Batumi: many fly into Rize-Artvin instead of Batumi and cross overland. By bus the airport reaches the Sarp border in about 1 hour 12 minutes and Batumi in about 1 hour 23 minutes; from Hopa, frequent minibuses (dolmuş) run to the Sarp gate, where you cross on foot and continue by marshrutka or taxi to Batumi.
