Some people call Batumi the "Las Vegas of Georgia," and to some degree, they're right. You'll find modern skyscrapers with truly unique designs, hundreds of casinos, restaurants, and cafes, and summer crowds, but beyond that, Batumi remains a cozy, welcoming city, with unique 19th century vibes, narrow streets, and endless beaches. It can be comical how the modern and old coexist, but it makes for an interesting blend to dive into and explore. The city is even more lovely and charming in the off season, when its usually crowded parks and streets are empty, and you can enjoy its beauty to the fullest.
