What to see and do in Batumi: specific attractions, prices, and where to eat?

One traveler pushed back on a standard recommendation list, noting it's unclear why the fish market sells non-local seafood and what there is to do at Boni market — cafe reviews were mixed (50/50).

Fish market prices aren't cheap: shrimp costs 2 GEL per piece, a small octopus 3 GEL per piece, whole fish 25 GEL per kilogram.

For a great sea view, locals recommend Tower cafe, which serves 'Lidskoe' draft beer and has a comfortable terrace.

Recommended food spots include 'Heart of Batumi' cafe, Tokyo House (sushi/rolls), and Kiziki, said to have the best khinkali in town.

The observation deck is best reached via the Argo cable car, offering panoramic views over the city and sea.

For nature lovers, the Japanese Garden and Botanical Garden are recommended as quiet, green spots for a walk.

For a seaside stroll, the Batumi boulevard is recommended, and for religious sites, the Holy Mother Virgin Nativity Cathedral and Sameba Church.
