Our journey unfolds with the grandeur of the Sarp Waterfall and the adjacent statue of St. Andrew. We pause to convert Turkish lira to Georgian lari at the exchange office, then proceed to Batumi city center. Along the coastline, we marvel at the changing architecture, catching glimpses of the Coruh River, Batumi Airport, the Upside Down House, and a petrol station designed as a space shuttle.

Guests can opt for a boat tour to capture stunning photos of Batumi from the sea, potentially accompanied by dolphins. Following the boat tour, we break for lunch and resume our city exploration, visiting landmarks such as Piazza Square, St. Nicholas Church, European Square, Medea Statue, Astronomical Clock, Poseidon Statue, and the Alphabet Tower. Subsequently, guests enjoy a minimum of 2.5 hours of free time.
