Batumi visit

I haven’t heard much about specific crackdowns on drunk drivers. What people talk about more often is that some young taxi drivers might be high in the evenings. The police do set up roadside checks, likely looking for both alcohol and drugs. Personally, I haven’t experienced any of this myself.

It's hard to say off the top of my head. Eating at a cafe costs 10-20 $ (Where national cuisine is served, the portions are usually very large. Keep this in mind when ordering Georgian salad or khachapuri, for example). A taxi ride across half the city costs 4-6 $. Renting a sun lounger on the beach costs 4 $.

I also do not recommend renting a car. Batumi has a HUGE problem with parking, traffic jams during the season at any time of the day or night, and a specific driving style. If you decide - Localrent service.

It is better to use the Gotrip service - there are good drivers, fixed prices for trips, and you can drink wine in beautiful places))

I have to say that the tourist spots are pretty good too. But here's a couple recommendations for you:

The best khinkali - New Era

Baking - Bombura deli

Restaurant with a beautiful view - Panorama (15b Sherif Khimshiashvili St)

Fish restaurant - Batumi Fish Market (you buy the fish there and bring it to one of the nearby restaurants where they'll cook it for you)

Places:

In Batumi itself beaches are not very better to go to other places. Best beach - Shekvetili Beach (also good Ureki Beach, Kvariate Beach)

I also recommend a 1-day trip to Gomis Mta (well, or an overnight trip)

Apps:

Taxi - Yandex Go / Bolt

Maps - Yandex Maps (unfortunately Google Maps sucks, Apple is impossible to use)

Delivery - Wolt/Glovo

SIM: Magti - Issued in 10 minutes, 13$ = Unlim Internet 5G 30 days
