Arriving at Batumi International Airport puts you in the center of the Adjara region, with endless options for adventure. The fastest way to see it all is by renting a motorcycle, scooter or quad to explore at your own pace.

Don't miss unique attractions like the Ali and Nino 'Love Statue' that appears to move as you walk around it, depicting a couple eternally chasing yet never catching one another.
Venture just outside the city to discover ancient sites like the Petra Fortress, carved into a cliffside and dating back to the 6th century. Or visit the Batumi Botanical Garden, spanning over 100 hectares with tropical plants from around the world. With your own set of wheels, you can easily take day trips to breathtaking areas like Kintrishi Nature Reserve with its pristine forests and dramatic gorges, perfect for hiking, biking, and rafting.
Or head north to Gonio Fortress, an ancient Roman stronghold on the Turkish border.
