What are the best day trips from Batumi (mountains, waterfalls, Magnetiti beach) and top sights in the city?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 6 days ago
TL;DR
By car, head into the Adjara mountains (Goderdzi Pass, Khulo) and to Makhuntseti waterfall with its historic Tamar arched bridge; on the coast, visit Magnetiti beach near Kobuleti, known for its black magnetic sand. In Batumi itself, don't miss the Boulevard, Piazza Square, and the Botanical Garden.

For mountain trips (Khulo, Goderdzi Pass, Beshumi) it's best to rent a car — the road is winding but manageable in a regular car during summer.
