Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 5 days ago
TL;DR
The clearest recommendations were to head from Batumi toward Shekvetili and Ureki: the Shekvetili Dendrological Park and the black-sand beaches of Ureki. If you prefer staying local, travelers also noted Batumi itself has plenty to explore on foot.
What the community said
Another full-day trip option: a walking trail through a nature reserve with mountain trout and boxwood trees (very scenic, best done on foot rather than in bad weather), combined with a stop at Prometheus Caves (about an hour to explore, interesting for those who haven't seen other caves) and a visit to Kutaisi, a small distinctive Georgian town. The whole trip takes a full day.

If you do not want a longer trip, one suggestion was to avoid repeating the same spots in Batumi and explore more on foot, since the city itself has many enjoyable places without needing extra transport.
