# 2 days in Batumi: a day-by-day itinerary

> Two days in Batumi: the town by the sea and the coast to the north. Day one: the Ali and Nino statue, the seaside boulevard, Europe Square with Medea, the Piazza and the Argo cable car up Mount Anuria. Day two: the Batumi Botanical Garden — more than 100 hectares of plants from nine regions of the world above the Black Sea — and Petra Fortress, the ruins of a 6th-century Byzantine town on a rocky cape.

## How to spend 2 days in Batumi

Day one is the centre and the seafront, as in the one-day itinerary: on foot plus the cable car. Day two heads north along the coast road: the garden in the morning, Petra Fortress at Tsikhisdziri after lunch.

On the evening of day two come back to the boulevard for the sunset and, in the warm season at about 21:00, the [dancing fountains](https://yesgo.io/georgia/batumi/batumi-dancing-fountains).

## How to get to the Botanical Garden and Petra

To the garden: minibus 31 to the main gate, minibus 40 towards Chakvi, buses 10 and 10a, or a taxi in 15–25 minutes. To Petra: a minibus towards Kobuleti, about 30 minutes, or a taxi with Bolt or Yandex Go.

Leave Petra before evening: in season the road back into Batumi gets jammed.

## A swim on day two

Below Petra Fortress is Tsikhisdziri beach, much quieter than Batumi's. With a swim, allow up to two hours for the fortress and the beach.

## Tips

- An electric car runs in the garden for an extra fee if you would rather skip the climbs.
- Bring water and a snack to the garden: not every path has a café.
- Petra wants cash in lari; minibuses do not take cards.
- Georgia uses the lari (GEL). Cards work in most cafés and shops; keep cash for markets and minibuses.
- Wear proper shoes at Petra: the path up to the citadel is on trails and steps.
