TEN REASONS TO VISIT BATUMI
WITH THE RETURN OF INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL, THE GEORGIAN CITY OF BATUMI IS RAPIDLY ESTABLISHING ITSELF AS ONE OF EUROPE’S MOST EXCITING DESTINATIONS.
Batumi enjoys a delightful setting on the shores of the Black Sea, with a backdrop of the soaring snow-capped Adjara Mountains.
The capital of the autonomous Adjara region is home to a delightful belle époque old town, which has been restored to its original glory. It also offers a scintillating mix of old and new thanks to a construction boom that is transforming its skyline, with new hotels and glistening towers.
BEST IN TRAVEL

TEN REASONS TO VISIT BATUMI
1 ENDLESS SUMMER
Famed for its summer season, Batumi is a fascinating destination in spring and autumn. Visitors can sunbathe or swim from May, whilst sea temperatures are still ideal for bathing into October due to the long Indian summers. As well as the sea, visitors can also trek to the amazing mountains of Adjara, which soar up to 2,500 m above sea level.
BEST IN TRAVEL
During the Soviet era, Batumi was developed into a popular seaport and tourist destination. 2 OLD MEETS NEW TEN REASONS TO VISIT BATUMI
Batumi is one of the oldest cities in Georgia, and the initial settlement “Batus” dates back to the 4th century BC. The city’s unique history has contributed to its vast architectural diversity. In the 19th century, during the “Porto Franco” period, European architects completed a number of interesting architectural projects. www.worldtravelawards.com
3 ADJARIAN CUISINE & WINE
Georgian cuisine offers an amazing array of cooking techniques. In mountainous Adjara, dairy products are common ingredients in many dishes.
