Overview
Batumi is Georgia's Black Sea resort city, where palm-lined boulevards and a pebble beach meet a skyline of eccentric modern towers. Casinos, botanical gardens, and a lively summer scene give it a flashy seaside energy.
Getting around
The seaside boulevard and old town are walkable, while buses, bikes, and Bolt rides cover the rest. A cable car offers panoramic views.
Local etiquette
Beach attire stays at the beach; dress modestly in town and respect church customs in the historic center.
Safety
Batumi is safe for visitors, with mostly petty crime around nightlife and the beach. Keep belongings secure in crowded summer venues.
