 Batumi is the unexpected Mediterranean city on the Black Sea. The city, which is the summer residence of Georgia, is unlike the Black Sea we know at all: people have flip-flops, swaying walking, life is unhurried, stress-free...  

The city has been changing its skin very quickly since Georgia broke away from the Soviet Bloc in 1991. The steep and verdant mountains surrounding it are gradually veiled by towering skyscrapers. Especially since 2004, there has been a great mobilization of the state to shake off the effects of communism and make Batumi a favorite summer holiday destination as it once was. Huge parks are being built in the city, boulevards are opening, international hotel chains are coming... They have taken many steps to make this place a livable place and the city has become very enjoyable.

It is enough to spare 2 days for Batumi. We have prepared a Weekend Batumi Guide that tells you how to make the most of your two days. Don't move anywhere until you read it. Otherwise, you will miss a lot, tell us. 😉 For much more information about Georgia, you can also check our Georgia Travel Guide page.

Here, we told about the places that must be visited and their importance. To find them poured into a schedule and more, you can refer to our Weekend Batumi Guide article above.

The main square of the city in Batumi is Europe Square. The most important symbol of the Square, where there is a large classical fountain pool, is the Statue of Medea holding a golden sheepskin in her hand. This statue, which refers to Greek Mythology, is said to have cost a lot to Batumi. It is one of the most photographed places by tourists, even with its astronomical value of just 1 Million Lari.

The Astronomical Clock is located on the same road as the Medea Statue, on the National Bank of Georgia, which is under UNESCO protection on Memed Abashidzade Boulevard. As there are famous examples in the Old Town Square in Prague and the Jewish Quarter in Vienna, the astronomical clock here makes chimes every hour and shows the positions of the sun and moon.
