In this thrilling episode of Backpacking Bananas, the daring adventurers defy conventional wisdom by venturing into Batumi, Georgia, a city often overlooked by backpackers in favor of more traditional destinations. Known for its vibrant nightlife, bustling casinos, and sandy beaches along the Black Sea, Batumi offers a stark contrast to the rugged landscapes and cultural experiences typically associated with Georgian backpacking. Despite the skepticism from fellow travelers, our intrepid explorers dive headfirst into the heart of Batumi to uncover its hidden gems and unique charm.
Setting up base at the cozy Hostel 47 in the old quarter of Batumi, the team immerses themselves in the local culture, strolling along the picturesque Boulevard and indulging in the rich flavors of Georgian wine at a nearby winery.

Venturing further to Shakura Beach, the team encounters a tropical paradise that feels worlds away from the rugged Georgian landscape, offering a glimpse into the city's diverse offerings.
Amidst the sun-soaked beaches and vibrant city life, the team takes a moment to explore the modern side of Batumi at the Grand Mall, indulging in a bit of retail therapy and savoring the sense of normalcy amidst their whirlwind backpacking journey. As their time in Batumi draws to a close, the team reflects on their unexpected love for this seaside city, appreciating the unique blend of urban excitement and coastal relaxation it offers to intrepid travelers. With a newfound appreciation for the diversity of experiences Georgia has to offer, the team sets their sights on their next adventure in Bourji, eager to uncover the hidden treasures that await in this unexplored destination.
