How much time do you need for Batumi Botanical Garden and which entrance should you use?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 28 days ago
TL;DR
Plan on 2-3 hours to walk through Batumi Botanical Garden; the easiest route is entering from the upper gate near Orbi Beach Tower and walking downhill to the main exit, where there are cafes. The Chakvi-side entrance is the farthest and adds a lot of extra walking.
What the community said
The garden has three entrances: the main (lower) gate, an upper gate near Orbi, and a far gate on the Chakvi/Tsikhisdziri side. The Chakvi-side entrance is much farther from the main gate, so a route starting there takes noticeably longer.

There are cafes near the main (lower) entrance where you can eat after the walk — a convenient point to end the route.

A convenient route is to start at the upper entrance near the Orbi hotel and walk downhill to the main exit, rather than the other way around.
31 days ago Upper entrance near Orbi hotel
Plan several hours for the full downhill walk from the upper to the lower entrance, so starting from the upper gate around 5 PM may be too late to finish before closing.
