Project

Sarp Border Gate, Türkiye’s border crossing with Georgia, was modernized by GTİ and opened for operation in 2009. It is the busiest land border crossing point in Türkiye with Georgia and the Caucasus. It takes its name from the village of Sarp, located in the Kemalpaşa district of Artvin province.

Citizens of Türkiye and Georgia can cross between the two countries with just their national identity cards, without needing a passport. Due to the increasing trade volume between Türkiye and Georgia, renovation works began again in 2016 at the Sarp Border Gate to ensure faster and more comfortable passage. By the end of 2018, the modernization works were completed, increasing the area of the site to 45,000 square meters. It now includes a total of 4 platforms for cars and buses, with 2 exits and 2 entrances, and 8 platforms for commercial vehicles (trucks), with 4 exits and 4 entrances, providing services to drivers and passengers.

At the Sarp Border Gate, there are Duty-Free shops, dining areas, a supermarket, ATMs, and an insurance agency. Additionally, there are areas where passengers can fulfil their personal needs such as restrooms and prayer rooms. Duty-Free shops, conveniently located separately for passengers and trucks, allow our guests to shop comfortably and enjoy their time in restaurants and cafes.
