Solo Travel in Batumi

The unique cuisine of Adjara — Batumi's Adjaran region has its own food culture distinct from Georgian: Adjarian khachapuri (the boat-shaped cheese bread with egg and butter — the world's most photogenic food), sinori (walnut cream and pastry), and the local tea plantations produce Georgia's only tea. The harbourside restaurants are the best place to eat it all.

📍Harbour Square, Batumi

One of the most biodiverse botanical gardens in the world — a 113-hectare hillside garden above the Black Sea coast 9km from Batumi, established in 1912, with plants from the Himalayas, Mexico, New Zealand, Japan, and North America growing in a subtropical climate with sea views. The funicular to the top and the walk back down through the garden takes half a day.

📍Botanical Garden, Chakvi, Batumi

The longest seaside promenade in the Caucasus — a 7km botanical garden boulevard along the Black Sea coast, planted in 1881, with subtropical plants, cafés, beach clubs, and the extraordinary mix of Ottoman, Tsarist Russian, Soviet, and futuristic modern architecture that defines 21st-century Batumi.

📍Batumi Boulevard, Batumi

A unique architectural palimpsest — Batumi's Ottoman old town, built over by Tsarist Russian Art Nouveau, Soviet Constructivism, and Adjaran medieval architecture, creates the most ethnically and architecturally complex small city center in the South Caucasus. The synagogue, mosque, Orthodox and Catholic churches all within 500 meters.

📍Old Town, Batumi

The finest hotel on the Georgian Black Sea — a resort on the Batumi seaside boulevard with an outdoor pool facing the sea, spa, and the best service in the region. The extraordinary mix of Art Nouveau European buildings and Soviet-era boulevards that defines Batumi is visible from the terrace.
