Batumi Boulvard
Batumi Boulevard is the city’s pride and joy. Laid out in 1884, it is stretching for 7 kilometres along the seafront and has a lot to offer.
Ali & Nino, also known as the ‘Statue of Love’, the metal sculpture was created in 2010 by Georgian artist Tamara Kvesitadze. The two figures, Ali and Nino, come from the pages of Kurban Said’s novel of the same name.
You can visit the sculpture any time of day, but it’s best to come at 7pm when the revolving platform starts moving. The two figures slide together, merging for an instant before drifting apart again.

Petra was constructed in the year 535 and is thought to be one of the castles mentioned in Shota Rustaveli’s epic poem The Knight in Panther’s Skin. The surrounding terraced gardens – the remains of a limonarium – look incredible from afar; on the ground, there are shaded walking paths leading you between the remains of a citadel, baths, farmhouses and soldiers’ barracks. Majestic sea views are available at every turn.
