Description
Discover Batumi on a guided city tour, visit a tea plantation in the Guria region, and explore the ancient Roman Gonio Fortress on a full-day trip from Batumi.
Begin your day with a guided walking and panoramic driving tour of Batumi, the vibrant jewel of the Black Sea. Wander through the charming Old Town, admire Europe Square, the Alphabet Tower, and the modern architecture along the seaside promenade. Get a sense of the city’s unique blend of tradition and innovation.
Next, leave the coast behind and drive inland to visit a peaceful tea plantation tucked into the hills of the Guria region. Learn how Georgia’s tea history began in the 18th century and grew under the Soviet Union, with millions of tons of tea once harvested here. Walk among the tea fields, hear from local growers, and enjoy a guided tasting of artisan teas.
After the tour, sit down for a relaxing lunch at the tea farm, featuring local seasonal ingredients and traditional flavors.
End the day with a visit to Gonio Fortress, one of Georgia’s oldest archaeological sites. Explore the ancient Roman walls, learn about the legends that surround it — including the possible burial site of the Apostle Matthew — and enjoy views of the surrounding mountains and coastline.
