💡 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.

Find a coastal restaurant between here and Batumi for freshly caught local fish.
Try regional wine varieties, widely available in any village guesthouse.

Tsikhisdziri is a scenic resort on the Georgian Black Sea coast, known for its lush subtropical vegetation and rich history. The region has a unique combination of deep blue sea and verdant hills covered with citrus groves and tea plantations. At the center of its historical significance stands the Byzantine Petra Fortress, which rises majestically above the coastline, offering visitors wide-open panoramic views. Beach lovers can relax on the beautiful Petra beach, a lovely pebble strand characterized by its clear waters and peaceful atmosphere. Far away from the crowded tourist paths, this stretch of coastline provides the excellent environment to enjoy the gentle waves of the Black Sea. Swimming and sunbathing are just as popular here as romantic sunset walks along the impressive shore. The local gastronomy perfectly reflects the rich Georgian culture. In the welcoming local taverns around Tsikhisdziri, guests can taste traditional dishes like khachapuri and freshly caught seafood, accompanied by world-famous Georgian wines.
