Batumi is one of the amazing places on our planet, where you must at least once in my life, no one will remain indifferent. I only returned 2 days ago and I already want to go back there !!! I love Batumi.
The trip was spontaneous, but I'm not sorry or a bit. Very beautiful resort town, clean sea, beautiful sunsets, hospitable people who will help at any time.
This trip was a budget option. Therefore I lived in a hostel. Hostel "Batumi San Hostel" is located near the embankment and the famous Dolphinarium, which is famous for its ideas to the whole world. The cost of accommodation is only 25 LARI (local currency) - it is about 10 dollars. Although it is possible to find a cheaper option on the spot, for example, the room in the apartment with the hostess will cost 6 dollars per day per person.
Kitchen in Batumi, and in all the Georgia is unmatched, such a large assortment and pretty democratic prices. For example, a cheese cake - from 0.60 Tetri, the famous Adjara Khachapuri - 5 Lari, a portion of pork kebabs - from 7 Lari, Hinki - from 50 Tetri, apiece. Fruits cheap, grapes - from 1 lari, per kg., Peaches - from 2 lari. In general, the hungry will not be left. Wine, a separate topic, wine here is a lot, drink it everywhere, prices begin with 4 lari per liter. There are many wine cellars where you can get to the free tasting.
Regarding entertainment and excursions - I went on an excursion to Mountain Ajaria, very beautiful places, mountains, mountain rivers, waterfalls and breathtaking nature. Not far from Batumi is the resort of Sarpi, it is believed that the cleaner sea is here. Also here you can see Turkey, because It is here that the border of states is located. During this excursion, I also visited the old Goni Fortress, Andrei Waterfall and the old arched bridge, which was erected during the reign of Queen Tamara. Also visited the wine house, where they showed and told the technology of cooking wine. The cost of this trip is about $ 20, it's with a professional guide. The whole trip takes about 6-7 hours.
Also visiting Batumi, it is impossible not to go to the botanical garden. I traveled here on my own, without a tour of public transport. A huge territory, many types of colors and trees from all over the world, rolled through the garden of the garden on a small electric car. The whole trip cost 14 Lari (about $ 5).
In Batumi, the beautiful cable car, the cost of 5 lari, and in the evening it is possible to enjoy a wonderful concert on the mountain, plunge into the national dances and songs of the Georgian people. Also for housewives I advise you to visit the local market, where you can buy various spices, there is just a head goes around from flavors.
Dolphinarium - the cost of visiting only 15 lari, good atmosphere, a wonderful idea.
Yes, and just do the simple walk along the streets of Batumi will remain in memory for a long time, a lot of different sculptures and monuments, several singing fountains in their views, especially beautiful fountains, near the house of justice with a laser show.
Batumi - a great place to relax!
