A big list of places to visit not far from Batumi

Route stops

1. Gomis-MtaAt 2,100 metres above sea level, often above the clouds. On a clear day you can see very far.
2. Georgian AmazonLake Paliastomi is a large lake in Kolkheti National Park. Here, you can rent a boat and travel along the Pichori River; it winds through dense thickets and really looks like the Amazon.
3. Banana grove in TsikhisdziriThe banana grove in Tsikhisdziri is a green spot by the sea near Batumi; a swimming pool and a small restaurant operate there in the summer.
4. Batumi Botanical GardenA huge green park on Green Cape with sea views and plants from all over the world. There's a zipline! Green Cape beach is right next to it.
5. Batumi Fish MarketYou pick out fresh fish, and the restaurant right next door cooks it for you on the spot. It’s convenient to combine this with a trip towards Zeleny Mys.
6. Sameba Observation DeckA viewpoint above Batumi offering a great view of the city, the sea, and the mountains. It is best to visit in the evening when the city lights come on.
7. Gonio FortressAn ancient fortress near Batumi, a good place for a walk and photos. Suits history lovers who don't want to drive far. You can combine your visit with a trip to the beaches of Sarpi, Kvariati, and Gonio.
8. Makhuntseti WaterfallOne of Adjara's most popular waterfalls, located about 30 km from Batumi. It is convenient to combine a visit here with the Tamara Bridge and a tour of mountainous Adjara. It gets crowded during the peak season.
9. Queen Tamar's Arch Bridge, MakhuntsetiAn old stone bridge near the Makhuntseti Waterfall. It is usually visited along with the waterfall, a short but pretty stop.
10. Mirveti WaterfallA quieter and greener spot than Makhuntseti. It’s a great place to visit when you want to enjoy nature without the big crowds.
11. Jojo WaterfallIt is a very beautiful waterfall; you cannot drive right up to it, so you have to walk about 1 km to get there.
12. Mtirala National ParkMountains, forest, a humid subtropical climate, and trails. There is a beautiful waterfall and a lake where you can go for a swim. A good place to leave the city for a day and spend it in the forest.
13. Petra FortressIt is a great idea to combine a visit to Petra Fortress with a trip to the nearby beach. It is a historic site situated on a hill overlooking the Black Sea; the fortress dates back to the 6th century, and the views are so stunning that your phone practically pulls itself out of your pocket.
14. ChakviA quiet seaside village between Batumi and Kobuleti. It is home to the large Oasis Dreamland complex, featuring a water park and swimming pools.
15. Birdwatching spotA birdwatching spot offering a bird's-eye view of the sea and Batumi; there are swings and a picnic area. I do not recommend visiting in hot weather.
16. KobuletiA resort town near Batumi where you can stroll along the waterfront, dine by the sea, and enjoy a change of scenery. It features a nice, wide pebble beach and clean sea water.
17. Gvara FortressA small historical site, less popular than Gonio or Petra. A good option for those who enjoy old fortresses and quick stops along the way.
18. Tsitsinatela Amusement ParkA great spot for families with children: rides, evening lights, and a "show up, stroll around, and the kids are happy" kind of experience. It’s especially appealing in the summer.
19. Georgia Miniature ParkYou can see miniature versions of famous Georgian landmarks in a short amount of time. It pairs well with a visit to Kobuleti or Tsitsinatela.
20. Musicians' Park in ShekvetiliA pleasant walk among trees and sculptures of famous musicians. Great for families, an easy route, and photos.
21. Arboretum ShekvetiliA large green park with rare trees and a peaceful atmosphere. An excellent choice for a trip with children or a lovely, easy walk.
22. KedaA small mountain area on the way into Adjara: a river, villages, vineyards, and after Batumi it feels very quiet. A great option for a trip "to the mountains" without a long, arduous journey.
23. The city of PotiThe lighthouse is one of the city's landmarks, built in the 19th century. It offers a beautiful view of the Black Sea coast. * Poti Cathedral is a large early 20th-century church with distinctive architecture reminiscent of the Byzantine style.
