About this Place
One location, many impressions
Batumi's seaside boulevard was laid out in 1881 and today is a green strip stretching more than 7 km along the Black Sea coast. Footpaths and a cycle lane run between avenues of palms and magnolias. Along the way you find a Japanese garden, colonnades, a summer theatre, dancing fountains and the coast's landmarks — the Alphabet Tower and the "Ali and Nino" sculpture. The old section is known for its shady alleys, the new one for modern architecture. The boulevard is the centre of life in Batumi: people jog and cycle here in the morning and watch the sunset by the sea in the evening.
