About This Tour
Batumi is Georgia's ultimate summer escape — a vibrant coastal city on the Black Sea where European architecture meets bold modern design. The moment you arrive, you feel the shift in energy. Palm trees line the boulevards, the sea breeze carries the scent of salt and subtropical flowers, and the city pulses with a laid-back charm that's impossible to resist.
This isn't just a beach trip. Batumi's Old Town is a maze of narrow streets, colorful balconies, and hidden courtyards that tell stories of centuries of trade and culture. The Alphabet Tower stands as a tribute to Georgia's unique written language — one of only 14 alphabets in the world. The botanical garden, perched on a hillside above the coast, offers stunning views and an incredible collection of plants from around the globe.
As the sun sets over the Black Sea, Batumi transforms. The Boulevard comes alive with locals and visitors strolling along the waterfront, the Ali & Nino statue begins its mesmerizing dance, and the city's vibrant nightlife beckons. Whether you're here for relaxation, culture, or adventure, Batumi delivers on every front. This is the side of Georgia most travelers don't expect — and the one they never forget.
