Everyone is used to going on vacation to Turkey, Bulgaria, Thailand. The outbreak of the crisis hit hard on the pockets and purses of the country's population. Already in the last holiday season, people began to look at options for traveling to the Crimea, Gelendzhik, Sochi and Abkhazia. I would like to remind you of a chic resort on the Black Sea coast in Adjara, this is Georgia - Batumi. Rest there will remain in memory for a long time. It is located only 30 km from the border with Turkey, but the service and prices are much higher than Turkish ones. It is pleasantly surprising that all residents of Batumi, unlike Turkish resorts, speak Russian.
Batumi Resort
The cleanest sea, a pebble beach stretching along for 10 km, make Batumi an unforgettable vacation. Behind the beach line, a walking area with lanterns, benches, palm trees and bicycle paths organically fit in. And the Ferris wheel over the sea offers gorgeous views of the old part of the city of Batumi. And the prices for accommodation will pleasantly surprise you. And rest in the private sector of Batumi will delight you with the local rich color. Accommodation must be booked in advance, as there are much more tourists than those who want to rent it. Therefore, it is necessary to start fussing about the place of residence much earlier.start of the holiday season.
Ethnic cuisine of the resort
Lovers of outdoor activities will find many interesting excursions in Batumi. Batumi is first mentioned in historical chronicles of the 4th century.

And you will not try such delicious dishes anywhere else.
Evening pastime
For an evening promenade, a seaside park with "singing" fountains on Lake Ardagan is ideal. And the photo against the background of the 8-meter sculpture of Nino and Alim, symbolizing eternal love, will remind you of your vacation on winter evenings. Batumi remains in the heart forever. It was about Nino and Alim that Kurban Said wrote his novel. About the love of a Muslim youth and a Christian princess during the First World War. The statues are in constant motion, now approaching, then moving away from each other. In the evening they periodically change their colors. There is also a cable car. Evening Batumi from a bird's eye view is something.
The main drink of Batumi is chacha
Another attraction of Batumi is the Chachi tower. It is said that once a week chacha flows from the fountain for 10-15 minutes. This drink is almost the national drink of the Adjarian city of the country of Georgia (Batumi). Rest will be more enjoyable if this drink is not abused. And in 2011 they built a house of justice in the form of an inverted bottle. Interesting design. Connoisseurs of Georgian wines will find the most exclusive drinks at quite reasonable prices in the Adjarian wine house. And in general, what is a vacation in Batumi without tasting true Georgian wines? You will remember their taste forever. You can also try homemade wines, as an option to diversify the rest of Batumi.
