Why choose between beaches and mountains when you can have the best of both worlds in one place? In this episode of One World, we’re exploring Batumi, Georgia – the Las Vegas of the Black Sea! Georgia, nestled at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, is a hidden gem known for its diverse landscapes, rich history, and warm hospitality. While most people head to the capital city, Tbilisi, the coastal town of Batumi, the second largest city in Georgia, offers an unforgettable experience. Sharing its border with Turkey, Batumi is a year-round destination with pleasant weather and occasional snowfall. I stayed at the iconic Courtyard by Marriott Batumi, located right across from Batumi Boulevard in the city’s heart. Batumi boasts 21 km of swimmable coastline, stunning botanical gardens, lush green mountains, and the clear blue waters of the Black Sea. Just a 3-hour flight from Dubai and 5 hours from Mumbai, Batumi is the most affordable European destination. Here’s what we explored in Batumi:
- Europe Square
- Alphabet Tower
- Georgian Lunch
- 6 May Park
- Ali & Nino
- Ferris Wheel
- Batumi Boulevard
- Kolkheti National Park
Join us as we explore this emerging European top tourist destination. If you’re planning a trip where Asia meets Europe, Batumi should be on your list!
