About the destination: Batumi is an dara cathair is mó sa tSeoirsia, atá suite ar chósta na Mara Duibhe i ndeisceart na tíre. Tá sé suite i sliabh subtropicálach gar do bhonn na Sléibhte Caucasus Lú, is áit thurasóireachta iomráiteach é Batumi a bhfuil a aimsir athraitheach - is ionad saoire gnóthach é le linn na séasúr te, ach féadfaidh sé bheith clúdaithe go hiomlán le sneachta le linn an gheimhridh. Tá mórchuid de gheilleagar Batumi bunaithe ar thurasóireacht agus cearrbhachas, ach is port tábhachtach mara é an chathair freisin agus tá tionscail ar nós tógála long, próiseáil bia agus déantúsaíocht éadrom ann. Ó 2010, tá Batumi athraithe go hiomlán ag tógáil foirgneamh ard-ard nua-aimseartha, chomh maith le hathchóiriú ar fhoirgnimh chlasaiceacha ón 19ú haois a bhfuil siad suite ina Seanbhaile stairiúil.
