A 7-day trip to Batumi, Georgia
Black Sea surrealism meets subtropical botanical grandeur and boat-shaped khachapuri.
Batumi is Georgia's eccentric, subtropical Black Sea outpost, where late-19th-century Belle Époque villas sit directly alongside futuristic casinos and glass skyscrapers. Set against the lush Adjara mountain range, the city trades typical beach-resort sterility for intense culinary distinctiveness, a massive 7-kilometer seaside promenade, and a uniquely hedonistic regional energy.
Trip length

How to plan 7 days in Batumi, Georgia
- Base yourself in Old Town or near 6 May Park if you prioritize tree-shaded streets and cafe culture over glittering casino high-rises.
- Pair your city stay with an overnight excursion to Upper Adjara (Khulo or Keda) instead of attempting Mtirala and Machakhela in one rushed day trip.
- Take Marshrutka #31 or a 15-minute Bolt north to the Batumi Botanical Garden early in the morning before midday subtropical heat climbs the cliffs of Green Cape.
- Book your Tbilisi-to-Batumi Stadler double-decker train ticket on the Georgian Railway app at least 10–14 days in advance; summer seats sell out fast.
- Skip the inland hotel dining rooms for dinner; walk into Old Town to order fresh boat-shaped Adjarian khachapuri made to order at Retro or Cafe Porto Franco.
