Batumi

Batumi is located in the south of Georgia, on the Black Sea Coast, close to the border with Turkey.

It's a pleasant city with a good but stony beach. The center is quite small and can be covered on foot. There are no real monuments, but quite a few houses that are worth a look. They mostly date back to the 19-th century when Batumi was an important border town in the Russian defense against the Turks.

Daytrips can be made to Gonio, Sarpi and better still to the botanical gardens.
