Hospitable Georgia is a balm on the heart of everyone who was lucky enough to visit the noisy squares of Tbilisi and the ancient temples of Mtskheta. Happy is the one who drank living water in the Borjomi springs and stood with bated breath on the edge of the mountain range in Kakheti, admiring the Alazani Valley, shrouded in the morning lilac haze. A great idea for a summer vacation is a beach vacation in Georgia at one of the famous resorts built with love for the welcome guests.
Choosing a direction
The main Georgian beach resort on the Black Sea coast, reviews of which all tourist sites are full of reviews, is good old Batumi. In addition to the classics of the resort genre, tourists will find other points on the map of the Georgian Black Sea coast:
- Kobuleti became a free tourist zone in 2010. Since then, many hotels and holiday homes have been built in the resort. The beaches are being improved, and the cafes and nightclubs that have opened in a large number are attracting young people here like a magnet. Housing prices in Kobuleti are some of the most pleasant in Georgia, and therefore the resort is especially loved by students and young families.
- Diving and snorkeling are popular in Kvariati. It is easy to get here from Batumi by bus - the cities are only 14 km away. A beach holiday in Kvariati is also suitable for families with children, because there are practically no noisy establishments in the resort.
- The infrastructure of the Ureki resort is designed for family holidays. Its climate is especially mild, and the entrance to the water from the local beaches is the most gentle. The water in the local coastal shallow water warms up faster.

The main Georgian resort of Batumi was born in the millennium before last. It was repeatedly conquered from each other by various empires and armies, and in the historical part of the city many architectural confirmations of the rich Batumi past have been preserved.

Tours in Batumi involve not only enjoying the sea and the sun, but also a rich cultural program. In the vicinity of the main Georgian resort, you can see a lot of interesting and informative things. Guides offer guests excursions to waterfalls and medieval stone bridges, acquaintance with local wineries and photo sessions against the backdrop of ancient fortresses.
Beaches in Batumi are free, municipal, covered with small pebbles. In some places they are equipped with sun umbrellas and sun loungers, which are offered for rent by the owners of beach cafes. Changing cabins and fresh showers, if desired, can also be found on the Batumi coast.
