Batumi

Welcome to Batumi, Georgia’s vibrant seaside jewel on the shores of the Black Sea. Modern, colorful, and full of life, Batumi is where the Caucasus meets the coast. Join our journey and discover a city that blends old-world charm, contemporary design, and a warm Georgian soul. Whether you come for culture, cuisine, or coastal relaxation, Batumi is a destination that never stops surprising.

Batumi’s story stretches back more than two millennia. Once a small Greek colony called Bathus, it later became an important trading port under Ottoman and Russian rule. Today, its skyline is a dazzling mix of 19th-century facades and futuristic towers. The city has transformed itself into the cultural and holiday capital of Georgia, yet its heart still beats to a local rhythm: lively markets, music echoing from courtyards, and fishermen bringing in their morning catch.

Start your exploration on Batumi Boulevard, a palm-lined seaside promenade stretching for miles along the coast. Cycle or stroll past fountains, cafes, and open-air sculptures—don’t miss the moving metal figures of “Ali and Nino,” a kinetic monument to eternal love. The Old Town reveals another side of Batumi, with cobbled lanes, restored balconies, and European-style architecture that hints at its Belle Époque past. Here you’ll find cozy wine bars and art-filled cafés, perfect for a relaxed evening.

For panoramic views, ride the Argo Cable Car to the hilltop overlooking the bay, or visit the Batumi Botanical Garden, one of the richest in Eurasia, where subtropical flora meets sea breezes. Food lovers will fall for Adjarian khachapuri—Batumi’s signature cheese-filled bread shaped like a boat—and fresh seafood straight from the Black Sea. The city’s nightlife is as diverse as its people: from elegant rooftop bars to live-music clubs and traditional Georgian dance shows, there’s always something happening after dark.

Nature and adventure await just beyond the city. Join us to explore the green mountains of Adjara, where waterfalls tumble through forests and small villages keep ancient traditions alive. A short drive brings you to the Machakhela Valley or Mtirala National Park, perfect for hiking and photography. Every season in Batumi has its charm—sun-soaked summers, colorful autumns, and mild winters make it an all-year destination.

Discover Batumi with us and experience the energy of the Black Sea in a truly Georgian way. Our expert guides connect you with local culture, from wine tasting to street art tours, ensuring you see the city beyond its postcard views.
