Poti is a small town on the Black Sea coast, but it is small as a resort area. This is a port city, and the waters next to it are more attractive for tourism and travel towns and villages. Among them, Ureki, Kobuleti, as well as about 40 minutes away - a large resort town of Batumi. If you still have a holiday in Poti, I highly recommend visiting Batumi. There is and where to relax and what to see. If you are traveling with children, then Batumi will be attractive especially, because the stationary dolphinarium is located here, one of the largest in the world. The program passes twice a day at 12 and 17 hours. Children should definitely be satisfied with such a visit and spectacle. Emotions guarantee.
You can travel from Poti in Batumi on your own on a flight bus or minibus and spend about 10 LARs (that is, rubles 250), or take a sightseeing tour literally in any tourist firm of the city and go on a comfortable bus with a guide and a meaningful program. Personally, by us - tourists from Russia travel agency - Tkemali tour. Its representatives will organize trips from most towns, drawn along the coast. Group groups. The guide is Russian-speaking, very informed. We used the services of this travel agencies when organizing a trip to Mount Ajaria with a visit to the winery, there was also a tasting. Bought and excellent wine. Different prices. Various from 15 LAR to 40 and higher. It all depends on the brand of wine, year, well, and gift packaging.
Our familiar also with the use of services of this travel agencies went to horse riding along the mountains of Adjara. Stayed in complete delight. Cost per person is about 20-30 LAR. 20 - without an instructor, with an instructor - 30. In general, the prices are acceptable.
As regards the trip to Batumi, I advise you to go there yourself. If you wish, you can independently examine the city and start directly from the port part, and then move along the embankment along a very extended seaside boulevard. At the port of the port, practically opposite which there is a tower of the famous Georgian Chaqi, there are billboards that invite tourists for a walk around the sea. We won't pass by, since the guys of small tourist boats, as soon as they see the "ZEVAK" group, begin to shout in the mouthpiece, inviting to inspect Batumi from the deck of the ship. For children, the trip is free, but with adults take about 10 LAR.
Inexpensive. If you are also lazy and reluctant to wander around the city, you can use the services of a tourist bus. Parking from those right not far from the register of the registry office, which in shape resembles a dolphin. It is not far from the most comfortable hotel Batumi - Redisson and University buildings - skyscraper. A sightseeing tour with a visit to the iconic places of the city, including the Church of St. Nicholas, is 20 LAR per person. On the way about 2 hours.
The most interest for tourists is the seaside boulevard. It is concentrated almost everything that is necessary for tourists. There are a lot of cafes, attractions are organized for children. The cost of each, type of trampoline, locomotive and others, 5 LAR. In the cafe you can eat Hinki. Prepare delicious. Prices almost everywhere are the same - 0.6-0.7 LAR per piece. The minimum order is usually 5-10 pieces. In addition to Hinky, I recommend trying Ajarsky Khachapuri. You will know what it is. Khachapuri is prepared in the form of a boat, in the center of which melted cheese and egg. Tasty and satisfying. It costs about 10 LAR. Try it.
Walking around the boulevard you will certainly see the famous composition - Ali and Nino. These are rotating figures. This appeared so to speak the monument recently. Ensures the love between the Georgian princess Nino and her beloved Ali. The figures rotate in such a way that at a certain point diverge, and then merge together, personifying unity and love. Original composition. Standing right by the sea next to the ferris wheel.
Immediately near the very original tower of the Georgian alphabet. Its vertex is crowned with a ball, and the letters of the alphabet are located along the screw guides. During construction, Turkish workers incorrectly placed these letters and had to redo. Therefore, the tower was actually built twice, spent a lot of middle a middle for rework.
Moving ahead on the boulevard you will see a lot of interesting monuments, it is unclear what you are supposed. For example, a huge size of the boot. There is still a very original composition with a red heart and stylized figures of a man and a woman.
On the pier for 1 layer through the pylon tube you can see the neighborhood of the city. The cafe is also located, and if the boulevard is perpendicular to the pier, they will fall on the alley, at the end of which will be the building of the local registry office in the form of a dolphin. True on the back of the dolphin more reminiscent of the head of the pig. Immediately there are fountains on the alley, which look more beautiful through the backlight in the evening, but the main fotnates of the seaside boulevard in a slightly different side. Many merchants with souvenirs. Traditional magnets are sold for 4-5 LAR. In principle, expensive. You can buy for 3 lara. They also sell the famous Georgian hats from felt, jewelry including natural stones, crafts from seashells. You can bargain. For Georgians, this is the norm and no one will condemn you. While we were walking here, we saw a very remarkable cleaning machine. Everywhere purity and order.
For the day you can go all the boulevard, but it is hard, especially if you travel with a child.
If you decide for longer trips, I highly recommend the direction to Imereti with the center in Kutaisi. The tour for the whole day and the cost of 90 LAR per person. In Kutaisi, you can see two monuments included in the list of UNESCO protected objects. This is a bagrate temple dated by the 10th century and completely reconstructed in the early 2000th thousand years, as well as the monastery complex Gelacy, which is in the mountain part of the city, about an hour's drive from the center of Kutaisi. In addition to these two architectural monuments, you will see two famous caves - Satalio and Prometheus. Unique natural phenomena. In Sathalio, it will be possible to contemplate the beauty of nature from the observation deck with a glass bottom, as well as a pristine man Calymian forest, as if fabulous.
There is still a tour in Svaneti - to the mining part of Georgia. Here is the special beauty of mountain nature and clean air.
Many directions can be chosen from Poti, the main thing would be desire and means.
