For us, Georgia itself turned out to be full of pleasant surprises and an incredible number of interesting places. But visiting all the most exciting attractions in one trip is quite difficult. Therefore, it is not surprising that many tourists who are in love with this country and culture decide to divide their travels and see something new every time. Many of our friends have already visited, and still, like us, every year they dream of returning here again on vacation. This country is a comfortable and cozy place for any tourist to stay: there is something to see here for both state employees and wealthier people who are accustomed to not denying themselves anything.

Adjara (including Batumi)

The capital of the Adjarian region is modern, “stuffed” with a huge number of interesting things for both young travelers and their parents.

Kids and their parents will be curious to visit a small zoo corner located not far from central beach Batumi. In the near future it will be moved to the village of Chakvi.

Believers will be especially pleased to visit and explore, located on the corner of Tavdadebuli and Zubalashvili streets in Batumi. The temple is very unusual not only externally, but also internally, because it was originally built as a Catholic one, and now it successfully functions as Orthodox Church. We recommend paying attention to the beautiful window paintings in the cathedral. read in a separate article.

Once inside the Batumi Opera House, you don’t immediately realize where exactly you are thanks to the rich decoration, exquisite lighting and gurgling fountain.

Another highlight of Batumi is the Center for Music and Art or, in simple terms, Opera theatre. This miracle of construction thought is located on Odyssey Dimitriadi Street, 1, almost on the outskirts of the city. The theater is truly impressive inside and out. In fact, it was previously an inconspicuous House of Culture, but after the grandiose transformation, it is impossible to enter it without amazement. The Center often hosts performances, concerts and all kinds of performances in Russian. We advise you not to be greedy for a ticket and be sure to visit this place, because it is not for nothing that it is included in the top five most unusual buildings of modern theaters in the world.

You can read more about the Center for Music and Art in the article: Amazing Opera House in Batumi.

In the evening Batumi comes alive. Tourists and locals fill the streets and slowly move towards the embankment, where the most unusual ones are located. For example, amazingly beautiful on Lake Ardagan (next to the Ministry of Justice). It takes place every day, from approximately 21:00 until midnight. Huge jets of water dance merrily and shimmer beautifully to various music. Sometimes (not every day) a spectacular laser show is turned on against this background. There are restaurants and cafes near the lake, and there are benches along it to make it convenient to watch the performance.

ABOUT singing fountains We have a separate useful article that we recommend reading to anyone who is interested:

In the evening, the Piazza is especially crowded with tourists. This is facilitated by live music and figures leaving the tower every 3 hours.

We recommend taking a walk in the evening to the embankment near the sea station, where the Park of Wonders and a special one are located. It “works” during the day, but after sunset, when the backlight is turned on, it looks more romantic and bewitching. Vacationers like to gather around it; people invite you to take a boat ride nearby. There are other entertainments here as well.

Piazza Square is another exotic, typically “Italian” attraction of Batumi, which is best visited in the evening when the lights turn on. It was located on Tsar Parnavaz Street, 25, in a very convenient location, where tourists often go. Visiting it is absolutely free. The area is surrounded by hotels, restaurants, cafes, and souvenir shops. Inside the square there is high tower, in its center there is a window. Every three hours it opens and dolls appear from it to the music. Live music creates additional romance. Separately about Piazza there is an article: An Italian corner in the heart of Batumi - Piazza.
