Definitively DUBROVNIK The richness of Dubrovnik’s history has very much shaped its present and future. So well preserved are the palaces, façades and plazas of the city that it’s easy to imagine what living in the Republic all those centuries ago would have looked and felt like. And feel is the right word, a destination that allows you

to get up close and personal with history. It’s no wonder that Dubrovnik has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. However, Dubrovnik is far from being a museum, this is a living, breathing city with a soul. And exploring beyond the walls will open a plethora of opportunities.

TEN REASONS TO VISIT BATUMI

WITH THE RETURN OF INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL, THE GEORGIAN CITY OF BATUMI IS RAPIDLY ESTABLISHING ITSELF AS ONE OF EUROPE’S MOST EXCITING DESTINATIONS.

Batumi enjoys a delightful setting on the shores of the Black Sea, with a backdrop of the soaring snow-capped Adjara Mountains.

The capital of the autonomous Adjara region is home to a delightful belle époque old town, which has been restored to its original glory. It also offers a scintillating mix of old and new thanks to a construction boom that is transforming its skyline, with new hotels and glistening towers.



TEN REASONS TO VISIT BATUMI

1 ENDLESS SUMMER

Famed for its summer season, Batumi is a fascinating destination in spring and autumn. Visitors can sunbathe or swim from May, whilst sea temperatures are still ideal for bathing into October due to the long Indian summers. As well as the sea, visitors can also trek to the amazing mountains of Adjara, which soar up to 2,500 m above sea level.


TEN REASONS TO VISIT BATUMI

2 OLD MEETS NEW

Batumi is one of the oldest cities in Georgia, and the initial settlement “Batus” dates back to the 4th century BC. The city’s unique history has contributed to its vast architectural diversity. In the 19th century, during the “Porto Franco” period, European architects completed a number of interesting architectural projects.

During the Soviet era, Batumi was developed into a popular seaport and tourist destination.


TEN REASONS TO VISIT BATUMI

3 ADJARIAN CUISINE & WINE

Georgian cuisine offers an amazing array of cooking techniques. In mountainous Adjara, dairy products are common ingredients in many dishes. Boat-shaped Adjarian khachapuri is one of the most famous Adjarian dishes. Sweets also play an important role in Adjarian cuisine. Viticulture is an essential component of Georgian culture, with around 50 different grape species in Adjara that are still used in wine production to this very day.


TEN REASONS TO VISIT BATUMI

4 BEAUTIFUL BOTANICAL GARDENS

For the scent of plants and flowers in an incredible coastal setting head to Batumi Botanical Garden. The garden features a thousand species of astonishingly beautiful and unique flowers. The plants derive from completely different climatic and landscape zones yet grow together in harmony. For example, the garden has Canary Palms growing side by side with Japanese Sakuras.


TEN REASONS TO VISIT BATUMI

5 GEORGIAN HOSPITALITY

Exceptional hospitality and the goodwill of the Georgian people is the hallmark of every trip to Batumi. As a guest in Georgia, you will not only experience unparalleled hospitality, but will also be enchanted by the genuine kindness of the Georgian people.


TEN REASONS TO VISIT BATUMI

6 WANDER AROUND THE OLD TOWN

The Old Town in Batumi is a charming place to wander around. Many of its building date back to the 19th century when Batumi was an important port along the route from Europe to the Caspian Sea. Now the Batumi Old Town was recently restored and can enchant you easily.


TEN REASONS TO VISIT BATUMI

7 THE BOULEVARD

The construction of Batumi Boulevard was started in 1881 by a Prussian gardener and landscape architect and later completed by a French architect. Today the boulevard is one of the world’s longest, stretching for eight kilometres long and is distinguished by its broad walking and bicycle paths, magnolia and palm trees, fountains, café-lounges and children’s attractions.


TEN REASONS TO VISIT BATUMI

8 MIX THE MOUNTAINS AND SEA

The combination of seaside and mountains makes Batumi an ideal year-round tourist destination. The mountain resorts have excellent conditions all four seasons and are also ideal for romantic weekend getaways. In addition, the protected areas in Adjara and the region’s other natural treasures offer unforgettable experiences for ecotourism.


TEN REASONS TO VISIT BATUMI

9 GEORGIAN CULTURE

Georgia is one of the oldest Christian countries in the world, leading to a significant influence on Georgian culture. Gonio, one of the oldest settlements in Georgia, is located in Adjara. The region is famous for its stone-arch bridges, religious monuments and monasteries. Gelati and Bagrati, recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites, are located just a few hours’ drive from Batumi. Tbilisi, Mtskheta and other parts of Georgia are also very rich in unique and diverse cultural monuments.


TEN REASONS TO VISIT BATUMI

10 A GEORGIAN FEAST

The backbone of Georgian social culture, the Supra is a traditional feast. The “Tamada” or toastmaster leads the Supra, and is considered to be the most honourable member of a traditional Georgian Supra, and entertain guests with poems, songs and interesting stories. New courses of food are always served to the guests first, and toasts are made each time, with guests expected to empty their glass with each toast.
