Which district suits youIn Batumi, distance to the beach, the floor and the management matter more than a few dollars per square metre.

Batumi is the capital of the Autonomous Republic of Adjara in south-west Georgia. The city lies on the Black Sea, just under 20 kilometres from the Turkish border.
The international airport is on the southern edge of the city. Trains run daily to Tbilisi, the journey takes a little over five hours.
Humid subtropical. Winters are mild and snow is rare. Batumi is one of the wettest places on the Black Sea, with most rain in autumn.
The city lives on tourism. Guests from Georgia and abroad fill hotels and holiday apartments in summer. Winter is much quieter.
Districts
Batumi is compact, but its districts differ a lot. The number shows how many projects are published there right now.
The southern part of the seafront with most of the new towers. Many apartments have sea views, and this is the busiest part of town in summer.
No project published in this area right now
Historic streets, squares, cafés and the old boulevard. Short distances, busy all year, more small buildings and renovations than large towers.

To be clear
Batumi suits many buyers, but not all of them.
Beach, promenade, airport, doctors and restaurants are close together. There are many local management companies for holiday lets.
Demand is high from June to September and low in winter. If you need steady income, plan for long-term lets or look at Tbilisi.
There is a lot of construction in Batumi. That means choice, but it makes comparison essential: location, construction phase, developer and handover condition.
The humid climate is demanding on windows, ventilation and build quality. Ask about materials and look at buildings the developer has already finished.
