Discover Batumi beyond the beach with my comprehensive city guide. Here are all the best things to do in Batumi (with a map included), plus the best Batumi restaurants, day trips and more! The first time I visited Georgia’s Black Sea capital back in 2017, I didn’t exactly love it. When I returned and spent just over 4 months living in Batumi, the city grew on me in unexpected ways. All the quirks and inconsistencies that baffled me the first time around are now the things I appreciate and adore. I’ve come to realise that Batumi is like several cities rolled into one; there are so many discrete pockets to discover, and only a couple of Batumi’s many faces have anything to do with sun, sand or surf.
