Eat, drink and dance in Batumi

Before planning the trip to Batumi, one should answer two perennial questions: “Why?” and “When?” In this article, we will try to help you find the correct answer.

First and foremost, one should realize that Batumi is a resort town. Tourists come here to relax on the beach, enjoy the nature, but not to enjoy the sights of the Georgian pearl. Therefore, if you are a big fan of active rest, you can spend in Batumi 2-3 days for complete recreation.

Conversely, if you want to swim, sunbathe, drink Georgian wine, dine and try khinkali or khachapuri, you are welcome to the friendliest city worldwide. By the way, when it comes to beach holidays, Batumi becomes the Mecca for lazy beachcombing and sunbathing.

Here is the greatest example of your typical day in Batumi.

9:00 – 10:00 – drink Turkish coffee in a 100-year-old cafe

Here you will be served an excellent Turkish coffee for just 1 lari. The gourmands will tell you the latest news and give advice on what else to see in the city. To keep the conversation, ask the visitors who Aygushi actually is. With affection and love, they will tell you about an old cafe owner who knew every one of them by the face and continued to work at the age of 80.

15:00 – 16:00 – taste an authentic Adjarian khachapuri

Forget about the dishes under the name khachapuri sold in any country. adjarianOnce you taste a true Ajaria, you will realize that Geaorgian khachapuri makes a huge difference. Some of the most delicious khachapuri are cooked in the cafe “Lagoon” (Gorgiladze Street 18).

Five lari, and you are ready to savor this culinary masterpiece. Just keep in mind that khachapuri is a very satisfying meal. Thus, the portions are large, so you can safely take one khachapuri for two, if you aren’t very hungry.
