Batumi Black Sea Gonio Kobuleti Travel guides

This is a round-up post for places we visited and discovered during our latest weekend trip to Batumi and nearby seaside towns at the end of April 2019.

During this trip, we stayed at two 5-star hotels (Georgia Palace hotel in Kobuleti and Castello Mare hotel), visited the center of Batumi (did some small shopping there). On our way there and back dinned at local nice Georgian restaurants (Restaurant Antre Batono near Ubisa was amazing)

We also visited some interesting sites, like the Gonio fortress, unfortunately, we didn't find the Batumi Botanical garden this time (but as we have been there during our previous visits, not a big deal). Last but not least, on our way back to Tbilisi we discovered a huge and impressive Black Sea arena
