Georgia's Riviera
Batumi, the capital of the Adjara region, is Georgia's premier Black Sea resort and a fascinating blend of old and new. This subtropical paradise features stunning beaches, bold modern architecture, and a charming Old Town—all set against the backdrop of the Lesser Caucasus mountains.
Once a sleepy Soviet-era resort town, Batumi has transformed into a vibrant city with world-class hotels, innovative sculptures, and a famous botanical garden. The mild subtropical climate, palm-lined boulevards, and warm Black Sea waters make it a year-round destination.
