Many health resorts were located in Batumi at that time and citizens of the Soviet republics had to work really hard to get a chance of spending their holidays there. “We have come to believe that the majority of Russians hope to go to Georgia, and not to heaven when they die, since Georgia has a wonderful climate, rich soil and a small private ocean”- he wrote.
The famous Russian writer visited Batumi twice, first in 1921, when he came to Caucasus in search of more favorable conditions for his creative life. Bulgakov had even planned migration from Batumi to Turkey, but returned to his homeland in the end. The second visit took place in 1928 when Bulgakov arrived in Batumi with his wife, visited Green Cape, and decided to write his “Master and Margarita” novel. He is the author of a play called “Batumi”, which was written for the 60th anniversary of Stalin.

handed over to a French gardener and designer invited to Georgia, Mikheil d’Alphonse, who is referred to in historical records as the “Kind Genie of Batumi Seaside”.
The development of the boulevard also owes much to Gordeziani, who studied in France and was appointed the manager of the City Park Boulevard in 1917.

One of the world’s oldest wine producing regions, grapes are thought to have first appeared in the country as far back nearly 8,000 years. Grape cultivation and wine making are therefore a significant part of Georgia’s history and culture, and continue to play a vital role in the country’s economy. It is not only a rich diversity in wine, however, that Georgia’s vineyards are famous for. Grape cultivation and wine production have also resulted in the development of “chacha” Georgia’s traditional national drink.

from wine production. The skins are a byproduct that most modern wineries toss out, but Georgia cherishes grape skins.
The drink is everywhere in Georgia, from commercial versions in stores, to homemade chachas on dinner tables.

In particular, autumn is the vintage period in mountainous Ajara. Visitors can involve themselves in many fun and memorable harvest-related activities, including grape harvesting and wine making.
Winter
Ajara also has great potential for further developing ski resorts. During the wintertime, visitors can enjoy the offerings of Gomarduli and Goderdzi resorts. The resorts have ski routes and lifts for visitors to enjoy. Presently, there are numerous guesthouses in the area available to visitors.
One of the main destinations is Khulo – cozy and small town which has a beautiful location overlooking the river gorge. It’s 80km from Batumi. You will find some small hotels and restaurants in the town and the cable cars which will take you to the other slope of the river gorge, village Tago where you can sit and enjoy breathtaking views.
Within a three-hour drive from Batumi, in Ajarian mountains, a little village exists that will absolutely take your breath away from first sight.
This tiny village connects to the outer world by the Khulo cable car, which is known to be the fastest way of transportation from Khulo to the village named Tago. This cable car is the second-longest free span cable car in Europe.
This cable car is unique in its kind. The Khulo cable car was built in 1985 and has a length of 1.919 meters. The entire road, from Khulo to Tago, does not have a single intermediate pillar. With all this, the road passes at an altitude of 350 meters, over the gorge of the Adjaristskali River.
The cable car works from 9:00AM – 6:00PM When and from where the cable car moves during those hours depends on the number of people who want to use the cable car.
The adventure begins from the first moment you enter the cable car. It might be a bit frightful in the beginning, however, once you take a look at the huge mountains with their tops covered with clouds, you instantly slip into a vastly different world where there is no noise and only clean fresh air. While riding on a cable car, you can get an incredible adrenaline rush, and at the same time enjoy the breathtaking views that will open during this short but exciting journey.

Georgia is in a highly strategic location in that it serves as an entry gate to the Caucasus and Central Asia.
Georgia is a reliable corridor for addressable flows between Caucasus and Europe and between Central Asia and Europe.
This concept is being based on historical Silk Road for centuries that gives Georgia a significant geopolitical role.
Georgian transport economy is transit oriented. Up to 60% of cargo flow in Georgia is transit. Transport
corridors are breathing new life into the ancient trade route between east and west and could reinvigorate Georgian transportation.
In this regard, Georgia is developing a new deep sea port, which is intended to have 100 mln tons capacity; Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway project is completed. This railway has a significant importance for the region, because it is intended to connect Georgian and Azerbaijan railways to the Turkish one.
These projects are aimed to increase the main geopolitical asset of Georgia – transit potential.

GEORGIA IS A RELIABLE CORRIDOR FOR ADDRESSABLE FLOWS BETWEEN CAUCASUS AND EUROPE AND BETWEEN CENTRAL ASIA AND EUROPE. THIS CONCEPT IS BEING BASED ON HISTORICAL SILK ROAD FOR CENTURIES THAT GIVES GEORGIA A SIGNIFICANT GEOPOLITICAL ROLE.
Georgia serves as an entry gate for the Central Asian landlocked countries, so the oil, gas, coal, zinc, copper and other resources can be transferred to the Europe though Georgia.
Out of the three main roads from Europe to Asia, the road through Georgia is the most stable and secure. Due to the stable political and economic climate, Caucasian corridor is becoming more and more attractive for businesses.
Additionally, the Suez channel has reached its maximum capacity. Thus there is clearly an opportunity to open North-South land-transport.
Transit if free of tax.
Customs is one of the less corrupted body globally, according transparency international 2014 report. Average time for import clearance is just 15 minutes. Up to 15 days deferred payment of Customs tax/VAT for importers is possible.
There is a network of modern Customs Clearance Terminals and Cargo inspection/Cross-Dock modern equipment and facilities.
The services you can get here is a Preliminary Customs Declaration, Serf-service for customs clearance of cars and Online Services for remote clearance (including tax returns).
The infrastructure of the whole region is being upgraded rapidly.
The orchestra of key projects, like as Anaklia deep sea port and Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway projects in Georgia, construction of Alyat port in Azerbaijan, new 1,5 bln USD port in Turkmenistan, 10 new tanker in Caspian Sea, construction of connecting railway between Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and Tajikistan, as well as construction of linking railway between China, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan promises a new development of the Silk Road and the whole regions, in addition, increases the importance of the involving countries.
The western part of China is in a process of rapid development, 53.87 BLN USD is already invested in these regions in airports, roads and energy plants, in next 2 years investments in these regions will reach minimum 114 BLN USD. This is an opportunity for Georgia, as it is a part of Eurasian corridor and the historical Silk Road. The first railway freight transportation from China in the direction of Georgia was carried out. Loading of the transported freight was carried out in China on January 29, 2015 and unloading – on February 6, 2015 in Georgia. The project was carried out by means of close cooperation with the railways of Georgia, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan and the province of China - Xinjiang. Georgia remains the position of crucial transit corridor for
the north and south countries in Caucasian Region.
The project of Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railroad mainline was initiated in 2007 by the governments of Georgia, Azerbaijan and Turkey. The project is a new transport corridor which unifies Georgian, Turkish and Azerbaijan railways.
Realization of this project will open railway corridor from Caspian Sea to the Europe through Turkey, which is intended to support connection between natural resources reach countries and consumer countries.
The project envisages the rehabilitation, reconstruction and construction of 180 km length Marabda-Kartsakhi railway section consisting of:
Marabda-Akhalkalaki reconstruction-rehabilitation section – useful length 153 km and AkhalkalakiKartsakhi (Turkish border) new construction section – length 27 km.
Rehabilitation, reconstruction and construction process is executed within the framework of the project envisaged for 5 mln tons cargo flow per year. Main part of construction works are already completed on theterritory of Georgia.
At the end of the first phase, the railway will be capable to carry 1 mln passenger per year. The project will fully integrated by the end of 2015.

Georgia is located on the shortest connecting road of Europe and Asia. The amount of handled cargo in Georgian ports has been significantly increased in last years.
Consequently, the Georgian ports are overloaded; in addition, the depth of the existing ports is not enough to get PANAMAX or VLC types of ships. As a result, there is a necessity of a new deep sea port (Anaklia Port 18-20m natural draft) that will have a strategic location and a potential to resist increasing cargo flows from Europe to Asia and from North to South.
Advantages of this project are strategic location, capacity to receive large vessels, high capacity, opportunities for advanced logistical services and possibilities for creating industrial clusters.
The Government of Georgia intends to select an investor to develop the Anaklia Port on a build, operate and transfer (BOT) basis pursuant to an agreement to be entered into with the selected Investor.The envisaged term of the BOT arrangement is forty-nine (49) years from the commencement of operation of Phase One of the Anaklia Port.
The port will be constructed in phases:
• The first three phases of construction supposes that within 12 years from commencement of theconstruction, annual turnover in the port will reach at least 40 million tons (on 3rd year at least 7 million tons, on the 7th year at least 20 million tons and on the 12th year at least 40 million tons).
• The 4th phase and each of the next phases shall commence only after the cargo turnover of the port will have reached 90% of capacity existed by that time.
The port will be able to receive a vessel loaded with 6,500 containers.
The Government of Georgia will provide to the Investor with up to one thousand (1,000) hectares of land for the Project and necessary hinterland connections (rail, road, utilities.
The Government of Georgia shall consider the possibility of establishing a free industrial zone (“FIZ”) for the Anaklia Port, further details of which are to be finalized prior to execution of the Investment Agreement.
Georgia provides significant investment opportunities in the manufacturing sector, which already contributes up to 12% to gross domestic product of the country and, since 2007, has attracted more than $ 1.2 billion in investments.
This is an opportunity for export oriented manufacturing sectors, for which access to the European market would be attractive. Therefore, together with international and local experts, the Government of Georgia is undertaking a deep analysis of competitive sectors in order to find ways of stimulating investment inflows, attracting new technology and knowhow and creating high value-added production in the country.
Georgia is uniquely positioned to capitalize on increasing trade flows between Europe, the Caspian Region, Central Asia and China in the foreseeable future. The country offers the shortest route between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. Georgia’s transport system is a key link in the historic “Silk Road.”
Foreseeing the above mentioned, there is a significant opportunity of development of warehouses, containerization and logistical centers. The total volume of warehouse space in Georgia amounts to around 1.8 million sqm, of which around 1.2 million sqm is
owner- occupied and the remainder is leasable. The largest share of total leasable space is located in Tbilisi - 61%, with 23% -in Batumi 10%-in Poti and 6%- in Rustavi. From the 627,000 sqm of leasable warehouse supply, 89% is dry storage and 11% cold storage.
The total capacity of cold storage amounts to 243,700 tons. A significant proportion of total leasable warehouse floorspace is classified as Class B (59%) and Class C (39%). Only 2% of total leasable warehouse supply in Georgia can be classified as A class space.
The broad categories with the highest occupied space are food and beverage, representing 42% of occupied space in listed warehouses and building materialsoccupying 14% of stock. Distribution companies take up to 13% of space. The average rent for dry storage A class warehouses in Georgia stands at around USD 11 per sqm net of VAT; the same figure for B class warehouses varies between USD 2.3- 4.7 per sqm and for C class warehouses USD 0.5-2.4 per sqm. The average rent for cold storage facilities in Georgia usually varies between USD 14-17 per ton net of VAT, depending on location and warehouse quality.

Here, Chef Elene shares her recipe for Chakapuli.
Chakapuli (Georgian: ჩაქაფული ) is a popular Georgian stew made with lamb or beef, dry white wine, tarragon leaves, unripe (sour) green plums, green onions, green peppers, green coriander, garlic and salt. It is popular in the Spring when the plums are unripe.
Chakapuli is a very popular lamb stew which we traditionally prepare for Easter. It requires tkemali (sour plums), which gives the dish its tangy flavor.
700 grams of diced lamb or beef.
150 grams of wild sour green plums.
200 grams of tarragon.
200 grams of green onions.
150 grams fresh green coriander.
2 green peppers, 200 ml of white wine, 30 grams of garlic, 1 liter of water, salt (according to taste). Do not add black or red pepper as this will affect the overall taste.
200 grams of green onions, 150 grams fresh green coriander, 2 green peppers, 200 ml of white wine, 30 grams of garlic, 1 liter of water, salt (according to taste). Do not add black or red pepper as this will affect the overall taste.
Add the diced lamb or beef to a deep pan. Pour in 200 ml of white wine and cook on a low heat until the wine reduces (usually 15-20 minutes). Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon.
Whilst the meat is cooking, pinch off the tops of the tarragon and strip leaves from their stalks. Chop the tarragon leaves (not too finely). Finely chop the onions, coriander and green peppers.
Crush the garlic.
Add the chopped ingredients, garlic and plums to the pan containing the meat once the wine has reduced. Add 1 liter of water, cover the pan and cook on a low heat for about one hour.
Stir occasionally and add salt (according to taste) near the end of cooking.
Bon appetit!
