About the excursion

Want to see the real Georgia in just one day? Go with us on an excursion from Batumi to a place that tourists already call “Georgian Bali” - for spectacular photos, tropical atmosphere, ancient history and delicious trout!

What awaits you on the excursion “Georgian Bali”

 

The tour takes place along the picturesque Black Sea coast, in the Tsikhisdziri area, just 30 minutes' drive from Batumi. The program includes a banana grove, a wooden beach near the rocks, a waterfall, the ancient Petra Fortress, the Sameba Temple, an abandoned lemonarium and lunch at a trout farm. This is one of the most eventful and memorable trips available from Batumi.

Holy Trinity Church on Mount Sameba

 

A panoramic point at a height, from where the best views of Batumi and the coast open up. This observation deck is located higher than the Argo cable car! Sameba Temple is not only a spiritual place, but also a point from which you can take amazing photos.

Petra Fortress

 

An ancient Byzantine fortress of the 6th century, built right on a cliff above the sea. It offers a breathtaking view of the coast of Kobuleti and the endless Black Sea. A historical place that will not leave any lover of antiquities indifferent.

Abandoned lemonarium

An old Soviet greenhouse at the foot of the Petra Fortress, where lemons used to be grown. Now this atmospheric place with a touch of nostalgia is a real “secret object” near Batumi, interesting for both adults and children.

Banana grove, waterfall and wooden beach

 

Here you will understand why this place is called the "Georgian Bali". The tropical banana grove is a great location for photo shoots. The waterfall is hidden in the greenery, and the cozy wooden beach with a view of the rocks and a cafe above the water will give a feeling of comfort and harmony. During the swimming season, you can swim right under the rocks!

Trout farm on the river

The final point of the route is a farm where trout is bred in natural pools with running water. Here you can take a short excursion, catch fish and enjoy a freshly prepared lunch right in nature. Families with children especially like this.
