Suburbs of Batumi
The Georgian city of Batumi has long ceased to be just a Black Sea resort. A large metropolis is called the cultural and economic center of the republic, where the historical past and the present are successfully combined. But in the suburbs of Batumi, you can still find the real spirit of old Georgia and plunge into the authentic atmosphere of cozy courtyards, where guests and friends are always welcome.
Adjarian Cape Verde
The most famous suburb of Batumi since Soviet times has been and remains a small village, whose name in Russian sounds like "Cape Verde", and in Georgian - Mtsvane-Kontskhi. The world famous Batumi Botanical Garden is registered at this very address, and its opening in 1912 became a new starting point for the development of the science of botany in Russia..
The botanical garden in the suburb of Batumi is a real record holder among its kind. Its collection of living plants numbers more than five thousand species, forms and varieties, and almost half of them are trees and shrubs. Five scientific departments deal with introduction, floriculture and selection, and guests of the Botanical Garden can see how bananas, eucalyptus and even tulip trees grow..
Georgian nights
One of the most popular tours in the suburbs of Batumi invariably includes the Georgian Night event. A real Caucasian feast usually takes place in the picturesque village of Erge, famous for its medieval fortress. The guests of the feast enjoy professional performance of Georgian dances and singing of male choirs, taste dishes of national cuisine and local wines. A lot of impressions are guaranteed for each participant, and you can book an excursion at any travel agency in the city..
Beach constellation
The main value of the suburbs of Batumi is the magnificent Black Sea beaches. You can relax on the sea here in any village or small town, especially since resort traditions have developed in Adjara for centuries:
- Getting to Makhinjauri is especially convenient for families with children or those who do not like long journeys. The main passenger station of Batumi is located in this village. The climatic and balneological resort Makhinjauri has been known for over a hundred years. The healing waters of local springs in combination with a mild climate, sun and clean beaches create unique opportunities for health and restorative rest..
- In the old days, Chakwa was famous for its tea-packing factories, where the famous drink was produced. Georgian tea has ceased to be grown here on an industrial scale, and the resort area has remained. Fans of a quiet family vacation prefer to spend their holidays in Chakva.
