【Georgia】Batumi: A Hidden Gem Where the Sea and Fairy Tales Intersect

"Half the waves of the Black Sea, half the dreams of fairy tales..." Batumi, the romantic and colorful city that Georgia has quietly hidden away. Turn the corner of the Ottoman-style old town, and you'll encounter futuristic sculptures, and under the Soviet-era Ferris wheel, the waves of the Black Sea gently lap. In summer, colorful parasols bloom along the 7km seaside promenade, people lie on the stone beach, intoxicated by the sunset and music. If you travel to Georgia, make sure to visit this romantic city, even if just for a day. 🌈 Batumi Highlights 1⃣ Ali and Nino Statue Don't miss the moment when the metal lovers quietly approach and embrace after 7 PM.
