Why Batumi?
A trip to the capital of Adjara can be described, in one word, “holiday”. Here tourists are waiting for the Black Sea, mountains, a lot of wine, gastro travel and bright architecture attractions.
To visit Batumi means to remember your summer vacation forever. A small but famous city has long turned into a world-class resort and every summer seeks to give us a lot of pleasure. Here are clean pebble beaches, a whole boulevard of entertainment, original cozy restaurants with national cuisine so rich in spices and healthy calories. The unique climate of the Eastern Black Sea region, the romance of the port coast, the crazy Caucasian flavor at every step – that’s what attracts us to beautiful Batumi.
On June 15, Sakartvelo (the self-name of Georgia) opened the tourist season. Actually, Georgia is an excellent choice for a holiday in any season. But in the summer in Batumi we can arrange a mix of sightseeing and beach holidays. And we have collected at least 5 more main reasons to devote your vacation this summer to the Caucasian coast.

Transport
Public transport in Batumi, as well as transport in Tbilisi, is represented by 2 types: large comfortable buses and minibuses, which are called "minibuses". How they differ is described below, and we will consider one of these differences now - the payment method. So, in minibuses, the passenger pays for the fare only in cash to the driver. In buses - only with a special transport card, we will tell you more about it. Batumi travel plastic card is called Batumi Card. It costs 2 lari ($ 0.7), this amount is immediately credited to the account.
SHOPPING: SHOPS
Batumi cannot be called a shopping center even within Georgia. For clothes and shoes, it is better to go to Tbilisi - there you can find things from interesting Georgian designers, but in Batumi they sell mostly the same things as in Russian shopping centers, as well as many inexpensive clothes from Turkey. But shopping with a national flavor here will definitely be pleasant: it is worth bringing souvenirs from Batumi, inexpensive local and Turkish gold, the famous Minankari cloisonne enamel, as well as all kinds of gastronomy: cheese, churchkhela, wine and chacha.
