The true heart of our journey is the visit to the Gonio-Apsaros Citadel. During the Tour around Batumi and Gonio Fortress, you will walk through the massive stone walls that once protected Roman and Byzantine soldiers. Dating back to the 1st century AD, this site is steeped in legend, including ties to the myth of the Golden Fleece. It is also widely believed to be the burial site of Saint Matthias, making it a place of both historical and spiritual importance. This archaeological stop is a highlight for anyone fascinated by the ancient world.
Beyond the historical ruins, the Tour around Batumi and Gonio Fortress takes you to the lush Batumi Botanical Garden. Perched on the stunning “Green Cape,” this garden features thousands of plant species from across the globe. Walking through its shaded paths, you can enjoy the refreshing sea breeze and breathtaking views of the turquoise waters below. This natural oasis provides a perfect contrast to the city’s architectural wonders, allowing you to breathe in the fresh, floral air of the subtropics.
As we head back into the city center, the Tour around Batumi and Gonio Fortress showcases Batumi’s transformation into a modern metropolis. You will visit the elegant Piazza Square, the historic Europe Square with its Medea statue, and the mesmerizing Ali and Nino moving monument. These contemporary landmarks represent the creative energy of modern-day Georgia. Our tour ensures you see the best of both worlds—the timeless stability of the fortress and the dynamic growth of the seaside city.
To make the most of your Tour around Batumi and Gonio Fortress, we recommend wearing comfortable shoes for walking through the archaeological site and the botanical garden. Since Adjara has a humid subtropical climate, it is always a good idea to carry a light rain jacket or an umbrella. We provide professional, air-conditioned transportation and bottled water to ensure your comfort throughout the day. Don’t forget your camera, as this route offers some of the most beautiful photo opportunities in Western Georgia.
