Batumi

Situated on the south-west of Georgia on the Black Sea coast, town Batumi and its surroundings is one of the most beautiful parts of the country. The ever-changing colours of the sea wash against the subtropical coastline of palm trees and tea plantations backed by forested hills. The natural beauty of this region is matched by the fascinating history of the region that spent three centuries under Turkish rule and is still home to a population of Georgian Muslims and yet has maintained its Georgian language and culture throughout. Batumi is the largest city in the region and Georgia’s main port. Its graceful white architecture and subtropical vegetation make it unique among Georgian cities and a magnet for foreign visitors and Georgians alike.
