The Black Sea coast

Batumi and Adjara: the Black Sea after the mountains

Batumi is Georgia’s Black Sea port city, a subtropical shore of palms, gardens and a seafront boulevard. It makes an easy final stop after the mountains: about 5 hours from Mestia and about 2½ hours from Kutaisi, with the Botanical Garden at Green Cape for a gentle last day.

Palms, subtropical gardens and the Black Sea after days in the mountains. Batumi’s seafront boulevard and the Botanical Garden at Green Cape make an easy last day before the flight home.

What a Batumi stay looks like

Rezo keeps this stop light. Typical elements are:

  • A morning coffee on the boulevard and a walk through the old town.
  • The Botanical Garden at Green Cape, a gentle half-day.
  • Dinner by the sea at sunset.

Adjara, the region around Batumi, is also green and mountainous behind the coast, but most travellers come here to slow down.

Getting here

Batumi sits at the western end of Georgia. From Kutaisi it is about 2½ hours; from Mestia in Svaneti about 260 km, five hours. Distances and times are typical, without stops. Your pace sets the real day.

Climate and season

The climate is subtropical: warm, often rainy, and busiest in summer. If a beach matters to you, say so when you design your trip; if it does not, a single night as the last stop is a gentle way to end the journey. See the seasons guide for how the year changes the rest of Georgia.

The ten-day Mountains, wine and a little sea idea finishes here.

Questions about Batumi & Adjara

How many days do you need in Batumi?

One to two nights is enough to finish a mountain trip: the boulevard, the old town and a dinner by the sea, plus the Botanical Garden at Green Cape if you have the time.

What is the weather like in Batumi?

Subtropical: warm, and often rainy. It is the lushest part of Georgia, and the coast is at its busiest in summer.
