Entertainment

• Due to its deep-sea beaches, Kvariati is popular with diving enthusiasts. In the southern part of the beach is the only diving center in Georgia, right next to the rocks. Here you can get a briefing and immerse yourself in the beauty of the Black Sea (diving with a mask and flippers, learning to dive, arrange a dive to wrecks).

• You can see the ruins of the ancient fortress of Gonio, which is also popular with holidaymakers. Its historical and archaeological significance is so high that excavations are currently prohibited. It is supposed that one of the apostles of Christ is buried there, they say that he came here after the death of his teacher, and it was here that he preached his teachings for a long time.

• On a particularly hot day, you can make a trip to Muhunceti Falls, it is always cool there. You can take a dip and dine at a local restaurant, where you will be offered Kalmachs (translated from Georgian, this means river trout) or have a meal in specially equipped gazebos for tourists. The road will take about 40-50 minutes one way. There are still waterfalls less experienced, but no less interesting, for this you have to drive a little further and longer.

• If you want the coolness of the mountains and see the real mountainous Adjara, you should go beyond the Muhunceti Falls, closer to the Goderdzi pass, where it begins.

• It is possible to go shopping in Turkey, to the border literally 10 minutes away (the border will take about an hour). The resourceful Turks built something like a shopping center right next to the border point, so it makes no sense to go deeper. If you still want to go to the nearest Turkish city of Trabzon, then the choice, of course, will be wider in terms of quality and prices.

• If you suddenly become bored, Batumi is just around the corner, just 15 km away, where there are many restaurants, bars, casinos, discos, an aquapark, and many other attractions. Taxi costs about 10 GEL, buses and minibuses 60-80 tetri (Georgian pennies) also ply constantly.

• Very close, 5-7 minutes drive, is Sarpi. Nice beach and you can dive right off the rocks.

• From water entertainments: hydrocycles, catamarans, boats, parachutes.
