Cildir-Aktas border crossing | Customs and Immigration DUPLICATE OF Cildir-Aktas

As not much is written on Caravanistan or else: this is a very convenient border crossing. We crossed from Turkey into Georgia. Two stops on Turkish side and two stops on Georgian side, took us less then 30 minutes and people were very friendly. We were almost the only ones though. Only 1 lane was open. At Georgian side they checked our medicines, but all was ok. There was no ATM, but there was a small counter in the Georgian border building at which we could change Lira’s, Euro’s or Dollars into Lari’s (at good rates). At this same counter we could also buy car insurance for Georgia, explained in a nice leaflet. For 30 days we paid 50 Lari for a car. The leaflet also shows motorbikes and trucks. Took us 10 minutes to exchange and buy insurance. We came from Hopa, rwhich was a really nice ride as well.
