I will tell you everything in detail, with mention and negative points in order to have a rest in Poti or nearby cities avoided our mistakes. So, in the summer we decided to go to Poti on the recommendation of the close friends of the husband - alleged rest there is no worse than in Batumi, but at times cheaper.
Immediately decided to save on tickets to the plane, the more I am also worried about them, and decided to go to Tbilisi on the bus, and there it is already up to you by hand to put on a bus or minibus, as the same friends said. The price of tickets was pleasantly surprised - $ 50 per person, the bus comfortable, with the "Condishn" and TV. On the road, the bus regularly stopped for passengers to make a bio break and filed. Everything was fine until we arrived at the customs point in Lars. A disgusting place! Not only did the queue moved for a very long time (I stood more than 8 hours), so a single toilet! Passengers of buses and private machines must descend along a very steep slope to choose among a puddle (sorry!) Fakeholds place for yourself. So if you suddenly go from Moscow by bus, "Fuely" in advance in order to endure the customs point in Lars. The only thing that somehow compensated to us these horrors are the wonderful types of the Caucasus Mountains, there are many colorful photos!
In Tbilisi, they were met by friends, and early in the morning (about 6 am) we sat on a regular bus before Poti. The ticket cost about 6 dollars per person. The bus was big, again with air conditioning, once stopped near the cafe, snack and went to the "human" toilet (already frightened by "natural" conditions in Lars). Late in the evening came to the pit, where we had already met the owner of the private sector (agreed on the phone in advance). So they are tired that they no longer went to the sea, and it was dark, postponed until the morning. I will say that the ratio of the price and conditions I was pleasantly struck - an excellent room with an attached kitchen, with air conditioning and satellite TV, we cost about 15 dollars.
In the morning they went "for exploration" to the city, at the same time check the beach. At first, they were disappointed - the pit made an impression of a snapped (in a different way you can not say!) The most ordinary provincial town. A small area, a small bazaar, curves, not very clean streets, a port, a beach, that's the whole city. On the beach was detained until noon, bathed in the sea. The beach is small, but surprisingly clean, partially stone, partly sandy. What is good, in the beach of the sea is a shallow. They fell into the despondency, not finding directly on the beach of a large cafe, after all, this is not such a major resort, this service is not very developed there. But our disappearance quickly dispelled when traders went directly "caravan", which, ranging from boiled corn (I adore!) And ending with fried Cababami. At first they were afraid to buy, but the wife's owner's wife (she, by the way, was past us with hot khachapuri) assured us that all absolutely food merchants had permission from sanitary control that they had very strictly and poison themselves! Bucked everything! Hot hacapuri - above all praise! Kababa did not bought, but tried pies with meat and with potatoes - also delicious! Drinks also delivered any, cold - in special refrigerant catalogs.
The sea is in Poti, as I said - amazingly clean, gentle blue water is unusually warm! As I then read - starting with Poti and ending with Batumi, on this line the sword water in the Black Sea. In the evening, when they came to the sea again, the water was even warmer air!
As you probably understood, we decided not to look for a cafe and eat "DICER". The housing housing suggested that we deliver fried kefal every day (the most probably caught in the famous song about Odessa!). Fresh fish that night still splashed in the sea, good roasted - amazing deliciousness dish!
It was pleasantly impressed by the unreal benevolence of local residents! We were looking for a bank where you can withdraw money, and almost half the city explained to us, and then accompanied to the bank. It took a small frying pan (sometimes cooking) - in the bazaar brought directly to a row, where kitchen utensils are served.
Swimmed, sunbathe, rode a boat (such a "service" is in the pit literally for a penny), but on the "banana" did not take risked! It costs this extreme pleasure of about $ 5, the category is attached to the category "Something" of bright orange color with seats and handles, and on this, the waves are tested there and along the shore of lovers to pinch your nerves. Not rolled, they were afraid to fall, but from afar, photographed! Seen in the photo on the left:
One of the unpleasant moments in the night mosquitoes! Just some mutants compared to the Moscow region. I had to include as much as 2 "Fumitals".
Charming beach in the evening in the evening, just charm! There are few vacationers, quiet, cool, but not cold, warm sea, and beauty is extraordinary, relaxing "body" and soul!
They rested, in one word, perfectly, in silence, in good conditions, they fed very tasty, although not in cafes and restaurants. They fell into the sea, tanned, brought with her warm memories of a quiet benevolent town of Poti on the shore of the Black Sea.
