Tsikhisdziri

Tsikhisdziri resort is located 17 km north of Batumi, 60-90 m above sea level.

The attraction of its climate lies in the fact that it is a mixture of sea and mountain airs. Summers are rather cool here whereas winters are relatively warmer than in Batumi or Makhinjauri.

The territory has been settled since ancient times. It is used to be a historical city-fortress of Western Georgia, namely of the Egrisi Kingdom, due to its military strategic and economically favorable location. As early as in the sixth century, Byzantine Emperor Justinian Built a city here named Petra. A narrow coastal road passed through the city territory connecting the Western Georgian to Byzantium, Iran and Armenia.

Many rest homes, restaurants and cafes are scattered throughout the green slopes and beautiful parks and gardens of Tsikhisdziri. The beaches are comfortable and there are pleasure boats available for hire.
