Adjara is the southern most coastline region of Georgia, once part of
the Kolkheti Kingdom, which had close relations with Ancient Greece and
Rome.
One can find remnants of these cultures in the monuments of Gonio
and Petre.
There, Roman legions raided and ruled for a time. Adjara,
today bordering Turkey, was occupied by Turks, and then returned to
Georgia 300 years later. Batumi, the major city of Adjara, is one of
the loveliest in Georgia. It was built at the end of the 19th and in
the beginning of the 20th centuries in a grand, elegant style as a
resort for the Russian emperors. There are fine classical buildings
designed and built by Italian and German architects, lots of palm
trees, exotic flowers - the jewel of the Georgian Riviera. Batumi is a
major port and resort city. Batumi Boulevard, the main promenade with
fountains and cafes, attracts numerous holidaymakers with its greenery
and central location. The Botanical Gardens, near Batumi, has unique
species of plants from various parts of the world. Adjarian resorts are
known all over the world. Kobuleti, another delightful vacation spot of
Adjara, where the sea, forest and abundant places for entertainment
create the best conditions for holidaymakers. Kobuleti in the
summertime is party, party, party!
Adjarian Khachapuri with baked eggs and cheese, and Achma, a delightful
layered cheese pie, Adjarian meals should certainly be tasted, as they
are most unique and delicious.
