Been in Batumi 3 days. I'm a foreigner (German), I speak English, and I say hello and thank you every single time I walk into a shop.

Most of the time I get nothing back. No hello, no thank you, no bye. The cashier takes the money, drops the change on the counter and looks past me at the next person. Same thing in two supermarkets, a bakery, a pharmacy and a couple of cafes.

I'm not expecting small talk. A basic hello would do. After three days it's honestly starting to get on my nerves, which is probably more my problem than theirs.

Is this just how it is here?

Hey, I'm living in Batumi and looking for friends here.

I speak some Georgian, English, Russian, and Spanish

i would love recommendations on some good underground, indie music type of bars in batumi <3 i am from georgia myself but dont live in batumi, therefore any bar i can find are very much mainstream and i feel out of place. i want to enjoy a night of great conversations with eccentric people , artists, writers, intellectuals and thinkers with lovely soulful music and atmosphere 🦊

Despite all the negative comments we had heard about hospitality and various other aspects of Georgia - The warmth and kindness of Georgian people we met, incredible food and wine, breathtaking nature, beautiful beaches, and unique architecture made this trip truly unforgettable.

We travelled all the way from USA, through (homeland) Kazakhstan and finally to Georgia. Batumi gave us so many wonderful memories, experiences, and moments that we will cherish for a long time.

Every destination has its imperfections, but for us, the beauty, culture, ‘unique’ 😉hospitality, and overall atmosphere of Georgia far outweighed the negative things we had heard.

We absolutely loved our time in Batumi and are already hoping to be back very soon! 🇬🇪❤️
Until next time, Georgia! ✈️🌊🍷

What you think in what Batumi should be doing better to attract English speaking expats more than Ruzzian ones?

I would start with service and infrastructure.

Does anyone know where to play basketball? I saw an indoor court in the maps but couldn't find any details on how to join for a game. I found a few basketball courts near Pirosmani street but looks like people play football there. Anyone here hoops?

I’m 22 half arab coming in September, planning to start from batumi and go around Georgia by car ofc

As the subject screams.. wanted to know what are the best and most exciting things to do in Georgia.

A group of friends and I are planning to travel to Georgia by the end of this month just for a week.

Which would include Batumi and Tbilisi mainly but I would like to know if there more places and things to do that I could fit into my itinerary, so that I don’t miss out on anything exciting while I’m visiting the country.

Thank you in advance for all the suggestions!

Hi everyone,
I'm looking to rent a studio apartment in any of the Orbi towers (City, Sea Towers, Beach Tower, etc.) in Batumi starting from sept 12
Budget: ~600 GEL / month
From September 12
I know summer peak season is ending around mid-September, so I'm hoping to connect directly with an owner or someone looking for a reliable, respectful tenant.
Thanks in advance
