Georgian cuisine is known for its colorful diversity, use of different techniques and traditional table layouts. There is no similar term or concept in the world for a Georgian Supra, a feast of epic proportions and diverse dishes led by a toastmaster or Tamada. Tamada, besides leading toasts to a variety of subjects, should also guide the evening and entertain the guests with song, poetry, and storytelling. Toasting tradition is prevalent throughout the Caucasian countries; however, the Tamada is a uniquely Georgian phenomenon. Traditional Georgian dishes such as Satsivi, Mtsvadi, Khachapuri, Mchadi, Khinkali, Chkmeruli, Pkhali with walnut, bean, etc. dominate in Adjarian cuisine as well. Apart from traditional Georgian dishes Adjara is also famous for its local cuisine. Resulting from the specific lifestyle in the highlands of Adjara, milk products represent the main component in their nutrition ration. Winter offers its conditions to the highland population - there arises the necessity to preserve the products for a long time. There are a lot of dishes with vegetables, meats and fish as well. Also, sweets play an important role in Adjarian cuisine.

Batumi Boulevard is one of the main attractions for the town’s visitors. The wide boulevard follows the seaside and is full of beach bars, café-lounges, restaurants, amusement rides for children and various colorful and dancing fountains. In addition to unique vegetation, you will find in Batumi Boulevard many interesting sculptures and architectural monuments. Batumi Boulevard has a history of over a century. Its construction began in 1881. Its creation was the idea of Batumi district governor Mekalov, who commissioned the coastal boulevard to be built to a famous Prussian gardener named Reseller. Later, the planned development of the boulevard was handed over to a French gardener and designer invited to Georgia, Mikheil d’Alphonse, who is referred to in historical records as the “Kind Genie of Batumi Seaside”. The development of the boulevard also owes much to Gordeziani, who studied in France and was appointed the manager of the City Park Boulevard in 1917. The first colorful dancing fountains of the Boulevard have been functioning since 1977. In 2009, the length of the Boulevard was significantly increased and now reaches 7 kilometers. The so-called New Boulevard was designed by a Spanish architect and built in accordance with the latest standards.

Batumi Theatre of Drama which opened its doors in 1952 (Architect I. Teplitski) was named after Ilia Chavchavadze seven years later. The first theatre performance ever staged in Batumi dates back to 1879 when Zurab Antonov’s play “Has the Uncle Married?’ was performed by amateur stage actors. The venture was initiated by Batumi Policemeister’s wife, Ketevan Zhuruli. Like in other theatres of Georgia, plays were held for charity here. Those engaged in the drama art moved from building to building but hardly ever lacked the attention of the audience. In 50-is of the 19th century the troupe was headed by Davit Kldiashvili. The founding actors’ association, established in 1912 was led by Shalva Dadiani who became the director of the troupe of professional actors – created by the council of Batumi Drama Society which was formed in 1913 and chaired by Ivane Meskhi. Since 1921 Batumi theatre has acquired academic status and in 1931-32Kote Marjanishvili became its head.

The idea to construct Colonnades in Batumi belongs to the local doctor Ivane Mchedlidze. He brought the project with him in 1933-1934 from a professional trip to Sorrento city, Italy. The project was completed under the supervision of Bogdan Kirakosyan, an architect from Batumi. This structure used to serve as a gate to the seashore which used to be closer to it than today. Years later, the shoreline receded and the sea moved back further from the construction. Despite this, colonnades remain one of Batumi’s most frequented landmarks and a popular meeting place in the city. You will meet similar colonnades at the entrance of Batumi Central Park.

Surrounded with great architecture, Europe Square is in the middle of the city that you can find many cafe's, restaurants , bookshops and etc and walk around 10 mins to anywhere in Batumi. Europe Square (previously known as Era Square) is one of the central places you will inevitably see once in Batumi. It's the main get together spot for any city celebration, be it Batumoba (Day of Batumi), Gandagana folk festival or a Christmas market. The fans of photography and architecture will stay there quite a while, because every building looks very bizarre and unusual. The coolest one is the Astronomic clock tower, where you can check not just the time, but the position of the sun, the moon and the planets. The monument of Medea holding the Golden Fleece reminds on the fact that the Black Sea coast of Georgia was a part of the legendary kingdom of Colchis
