The Beach

The Beach, Batumi

 MalenaN Says:  Along the beach there is a long promenade with parks and cafes. It's a nice place for a walk. The beach is big and a pebble beach. A Monday in the end of June it was not many people on the beach but I can imagine there are more at weekends and in July - August. 

Walk round the old town

Walk round the old town, Batumi

 maykal Says:  The term "old towm" might conjure up images of a tight web of narrow streets, mediaeval houses, hidden churches and bustling bazaars. Batumi's old town is more, shall we say, subtle. Although Batumi's history goes back many a century, most of the buildings you will see in...

Nightlife  

Kazbegi or Argo?

Kazbegi or Argo?, Batumi

 maykal Says:  Batumi has more than its fair share of cafes, and most of them serve at least beer. The cafes in the park close with darkness, so head to the port area, where a string of waterside cafes have sprung up, some permanent looking, others temporary and possibly summer-only. Some...

Marshutka madness

Marshutka madness, Batumi

 Castaner Says:  While I classified this as a bus, that is merely for lack of a better term. The best way to travel around Georgia is generally via Marshutka, which is basically a rather large van that operates rather like a taxi. That is to say, people get on anywhere and get off wherever... 

By ship

By ship, Batumi

 maykal Says:  The park behind the beach is a great place to walk in daylight, but once you've taken enough photos of those stunning Batumi sunsets, it is probably best to make your way back into town before it gets too dark. With no streetlights, the park is incredibly dark, and as with...

Off The Beaten Path  

The suburbs

The suburbs, Batumi

 maykal Says:  While waiting for the sun to come out, I took a walk along Batumi's promenade to the south. After a while, the park runs out and is replaced with huge tower blocks, quietly rusting away. A couple of the buildings used to be hotels, but are now filled with refugees from...
