Ba­tumi - Geor­gia

Friend­ship with Ro­s­tock since 2012

Ba­tumi was founded in an­cient Greece as a colony un­der the name „Batis“. It is de­rived from the Greek words „batis limin“ and means deep har­bour. The Botan­i­cal Gar­den of Ba­tumi of­fers a den­dro­log­i­cal col­lec­tion with 3,270 tree species, while the ter­rac­ing of the moun­tain­ous ter­rain of­fers spec­tac­u­lar views over the bay of Ba­tumi.

The Medea mon­u­ment is rem­i­nis­cent of the fa­mous Greek leg­end about the Golden Fleece. Ba­tumi’s main eco­nomic sec­tors are con­struc­tion and tourism. It is also well-known for its Mar­itime Acad­emy and In­sti­tute of Agri­cul­ture.
