Even in these turbulent times, people do not sit still. Someone goes on a trip to visit places that until now he has not been able to see live, and someone simply goes on vacation. Sometimes people like the resort so much that they go here from year to year. Each time they discover something new.

Today's edition. "Site" He will share the story of the traveler Anton, who loves to explore the world, and each time prefers to go to a new place for himself. However, Batumi It attracts a man in a special way. He is happy to come here again and again.

Since Soviet times, I love Georgia, so if possible I come to rest here. I have been to Batumi three times before this year, but every time I discover something new in this city of contrasts. In the city, where there is a place for small cozy courtyards, and skyscrapers, and developed infrastructure, and untouched mountains, and clean pebble beaches, Anton writes.



“Yes, under the USSR this city was different.” It is not so provincial and slow, it is very different from the Batumi, which we know from the Soviet film “Love and Pigeons”. But there's something left in him. And these are prices that pleasantly surprise all visitors. It is possible that the low cost of goods and services is associated with low salaries in the region, but this situation only benefits the tourist.”

“Naturally, the resort town has accommodation for every budget. There are chic five-star hotels, and there are modest rooms rented by locals. If you take something in between, then, for example, a double room in a 4-star hotel near the sea costs 2000 rubles. Is it possible to find such an offer at the resort in Sochi? I doubt it.



Tourists coming to Batumi must have admired the 54-story towers of Twin Towers Batumi. Here you can rent apartments with sea views. But interestingly, part of the premises was bought not by the hotel, but by private owners. And these people rent out. I managed to come across such an ad, renting a house for 1092 rubles per day. There are hundreds of similar ads on Airbnb.



Meals in Batumi "Food in Georgia - a separate story." The products here are high-quality and quite affordable. But it is unlikely that many tourists will want to cook their own food. Moreover, local cafes and restaurants have enough inexpensive and tasty dishes. And where else can you try such delicious khachapuri, khinkali, chahohbili and even kebab?

“There are plenty of places for any wallet. There are fashionable restaurants with appropriate prices, and there are small cafes where the cost of dishes pleases the eye. If you count meals for two, then a hearty lunch in a budget cafe will cost 25 GEL (600 rubles). In a mid-range cafe, a lunch for two with meat dishes and strong drinks will cost about twice as much.”

If you have dinner together in an inexpensive restaurant, you will have to pay from 1500 rubles. And if you decide to treat yourself to a visit to a prestigious restaurant, then prepare for dinner for two to shell out 100 lari (2400 rubles). My lunches and dinners cost me no more than 300-400 rubles (usually salad + hot dish). The portions are large and no supplements have been requested.”



One can only dream of such a cheap taxi. On average, each trip around the city by taxi, which I called through the usual application “Yandex Go”, cost me about 40 rubles. Sometimes cheaper, sometimes a little more expensive. But it's only 40 rubles! Sometimes public transport costs more.”

And if you count couple's budgetEven a month of rest in the summer will not be so expensive. About 30 thousand rubles will go to rent decent housing. Another 50 thousand will have to spend on food, so that you do not deny yourself anything (although you can cook breakfast yourself, and have lunch and dinner in a cafe). About 1000 rubles will be spent on a taxi. I believe that the amount of 85-90 thousand rubles will be enough with a reserve. Where else is it possible to have such a good rest all month? Can you tell me? asked Anton.



Indeed, the city of Batumi looks very attractive to tourists, especially in good weather. But is it as good as our traveler described it? Who has been to Batumi recently? Is everything as beautiful as it seems at first glance?
