10 Things to Do in Batumi That You Shouldn't Miss

January 3, 2018 Veronika Gaddis

Batumi (Georgian: ბათუმი [bɑtʰumi]) is the second-largest city of Georgia, located on the coast of the Black Sea in the country's southwest. Situated in a subtropical zone near the foot of the Lesser Caucasus Mountains, Batumi is a popular tourist destination known for its varying weather–it is a bustling seaside resort during warm seasons, but it can get entirely covered in snow during winter. Much of Batumi's economy revolves around tourism and gambling, but the city is also an important sea port and includes industries like shipbuilding, food processing and light manufacturing. Since 2010, Batumi has been transformed by the construction of modern high-rise buildings, as well as the restoration of classical 19th-century edifices lining its historic Old Town.

Batumi Boulevard

Reviewed By Желиль Р

I really enjoyed long walks along the water front on Batumi Blvd. Whether it's early morning or late evening, it's always relaxing to watch fishermen, boats and other interesting attractions, or just sit on a bench and enjoy the blue seaview.
If you're walking from the old city towards the blvd, watch for crazy drivers when you're crossing Rustavelli Ave. Don't rely on street lights or Zebra crossing. Drivers in Batumi have no consideration for pedestrians.

if in Batumi you must see this very inventive moving (literally) sculpture.
It is fascinating to watch the figures move around and pass through each other - I sat there watching for around 30 minutes absolutely riveted.
Georgian sculpters Tamar Kvesitadze and Poata Samia are to be congratulated for their originality.

Besides ordinary time, the clock gives the chance to find out some astronomical information, in particular: relative positions of the sun, moon, zodiacal constellations, and sometimes major planets. At the same time it indicates the meridian, horizon, time of sunrise and sunset.

The Astronomical Clock in Batumi was not far from our hotel and is like a lot of the similar clocks we have seen around the world but nonetheless impressive. Really cool to stand and watch all the movements of the clock for the heavenly bodies.
