Descrição

Discover the Black Sea Highlands and Batumi on a guided tour. Explore the Fırtına Valley, visit the Ayder Plateau, and cross the border into Georgia to explore Batumi's vibrant culture.
Begin your journey by exploring the Black Sea region, where steep slopes, tea gardens, and the majestic Kaçkar Mountains create postcard-worthy landscapes at every stop. Travel along the Fırtına Valley, famous for its rich vegetation and rushing waters, and admire the historic arched bridges dating back to the Ottoman period.

Continue to Ayder Plateau, one of the most popular spots in the region, and be greeted by its hot springs, Gelin Tülü Waterfall, and lush green plains. Walks accompanied by wooden plateau houses and the tunes of the tulum (bagpipe) offer an opportunity to get to know the local cultural fabric closely.

Next, head to the high-altitude Pokut and Sal plateaus and feel like you're walking above the clouds. Witness the "sea of clouds" phenomenon, especially at sunset, and create unforgettable moments for photography enthusiasts.

Take a relaxing break at Uzungöl, surrounded by dense pine forests, and admire the historic Zilkale, built on a steep cliff. Every moment spent in the highlands is enriched with local horon dance performances, traditional music, and delicious Black Sea cuisine, including corn bread, muhlama (melted cheese and cornmeal dish), and stuffed black cabbage.

After exploring the highlands, cross the Sarp Border Gate into Batumi, the capital of Georgia's Autonomous Republic of Adjara. Situated on the Black Sea coast, Batumi has become an international tourism hub, drawing attention with its recent architectural transformation, wide boulevards, and vibrant nightlife.

Stroll along Batumi Boulevard and Seaside Park, a palm-lined promenade ideal for walking and cycling while enjoying the sea breeze. Admire modern sculptures and parks arranged along the boulevard that reflect the city's artistic sensibility.

See the Ali and Nino Statue, symbolizing the tragic love story between an Azerbaijani Muslim youth and a Georgian Christian princess. The breathtaking visual display features two figures slowly moving toward each other, merging, and then passing through.

Head to Piazza Square, inspired by Italian architecture, and enjoy its charming European vibe with its open-air cafes and restaurants. Then, see the Statue of Medea in Europe Square, symbolizing the legend of the Golden Fleece rooted in Greek mythology.

Finally, visit the Batumi Botanical Garden, one of the largest botanical parks in the world. Perched on a steep hill overlooking the Black Sea, the garden is a true paradise for nature lovers.
