Batumi, Georgia

Batumi is located on the westernmost coastline of Georgia, along the Black Sea and just a few miles away from Turkey in the south.

It is a resort town in the summer months, and can be filled with vaciontioners (mostly Georgians, Turks and Russians) on holiday. I was there in November, so the shores and bars were pretty vacant.

Medea, from the old myth of Jason and the Argonauts, is the woman who brought Georgia closer to Europe. A huge statue of her, bearing the golden fleece, can be seen in the town square.
