What to expect
Batumi through the centuries
We will stroll through the streets of the historical part of Batumi and remember their old names such as Tiflisskaya, Dondukov-Korsakovskaya, Adzharskaya, Peterburgskaya, Katolicheskaya, Primorskaya, and Smekalovskaya. You will see the city's iconic places: the lighthouse, the Cathedral, the Orthodox Church, the Mosque, and the Turkish quarter. And you will also learn:
- Why so many peoples tried to settle in Batumi and Adjara
- How an entire dynasty had to change their religion to stay in this fertile land
- What secrets the Rothschild House, the Ship House, and the house with a 'human' face hide
- In which works of art Batumi is mentioned
- Which famous writers, artists, and political figures visited it
When preparing for the tour, we relied on primary sources: old newspapers and magazines, archival documents, maps, eyewitness accounts, travelers' notes, historical anecdotes. We promise it will be interesting!
