Travel notes for Keda Municipality

From Wikivoyage

Keda is a town and municipal center of Keda Municipality, at the confluence of the Acharistsqali and Akavreta rivers in the Autonomous Republic of Adjara in Southwestern Georgia.

Understand+

About an hour east of Batumi, Keda sits in a mountain valley carved by the Acharistqali River, straddling both sides of its banks. Known for its wine production (particularly of the chkhaveri and tsolikouri variety of grapes), apiaries, and its location relative to many historical and ecological sites, thousands of tourists visit Keda each year.

Climate:

Despite being in the mountains, Keda boasts a humid and subtropical climate, with hot summers and cold, wet winters. Sitting underneath the shadow of Mtirala National Park, Keda is one of the rainiest municipalities in Georgia, receiving on average 84 inches of precipitation yearly.

Get in+

By marshrutka:

Minibuses (marshrutka in Georgian) service the Batumi-Keda route daily, running between the Batumi Intercity Bus Station and downtown Keda every 30 minutes at the 15 and 45 minute marks of the hour. Passengers can easily hail the Keda marshutka, which typically displays a placard reading "Keda 77" in Latin letters or "водопад" ("waterfall" in Russian). The price of the full route is 3 lari, and the last marshutka from Batumi to Keda can be boarded from the bus station at 8pm. However, this bus often fills up quickly; it's recommended to take an earlier marshutka to avoid running the risk of being on an overcrowded one or turned away.

By taxi:

Rideshare services like Maxim Taxi and Bolt will occasionally take fares from Batumi to Keda, though the latter service generally does not work for passengers requesting transportation from Keda to Batumi. The minimum fare of a taxi from Keda to Batumi, and vice versa, is 50 lari, but prices are often higher for tourists without a knowledge of Georgian.
