OVERVIEW

Batumi lies on Georgia’s Black Sea coast, backed by humid green hills and a subtropical climate. Its older centre contains nineteenth-century buildings, churches and small squares, while a long seafront boulevard leads past parks, hotels and striking modern towers. The city is both a working port and the country’s main beach resort.

Summer brings crowded beaches, nightlife and a strong domestic holiday atmosphere. Botanical gardens and mountain landscapes lie close to the city, adding greenery beyond the built-up waterfront. Architecture ranges from restored façades to deliberately theatrical new buildings, giving the centre an eclectic appearance that is very different from Georgia’s inland cities.
