What works well

  • Zero vehicle backtracking: Day 1 stays within Old Town and Batumi Boulevard; Day 2 groups the port and fish market before returning smoothly to the historic core.
  • Spotlights specific regional dishes: wood-fired boat khachapuri, fresh Black Sea turbot/mullet, and buttery mountain borano.
  • Starts at 10:30am each day to naturally accommodate slow-morning travelers.

What we would improve

  • The Batumi Fish Market on Day 2 requires walking on active, slightly wet market floors, which is gritty rather than white-tablecloth luxury.
  • Leaves out botanical gardens and mountainous national parks (Mtirala) to avoid long driving times on a quick 2-day timeline.
