Who it suits

Who Gonio suits.

Gonio is not a second Batumi. It has different strengths and limits.

  1. Quiet by the sea

    Fewer high-rises and less traffic than Batumi. Good for owner-occupiers who want the beach without the city.

  2. Entry prices

    Often lower prices per square metre than Batumi. A good start with a smaller budget.

  3. Season

    In high demand in summer, quiet in winter. Year-round rental is harder than in Batumi.

  4. Infrastructure

    Basic services are there. For bigger shopping, doctors and nightlife you drive to Batumi.
