💡 Tips

  • Visit the ancient Petra Fortress in the late afternoon for remarkable golden hour views over the Black Sea.
  • The terrain is quite hilly and lush; wear comfortable walking shoes for exploring.
  • Marshrutkas (minibuses) running between Batumi and Kobuleti are the most practical way to reach the village.
  • The coastline here features rocky coves and pebble shores rather than sandy beaches, so water shoes are useful.
