Questa è la pausa costiera più insolita (e a basso costo) d’Europa

**From** ***The Sunday Times*****:**

vershadowed by the towering peaks of the Caucasus Mountains, Georgia is best known for its 8,000-year-old winemaking traditions, soaring alpine landscapes and its cool capital, Tbilisi. Less well known is its 200-mile Black Sea coastline, the jewel of which is Georgia’s second city, Batumi, a beach resort once beloved by Soviet holidaymakers.

The capital of Georgia’s autonomous southwestern province of Adjara, Batumi sits 12 miles north of the Turkish border and a five-hour train ride west of Tbilisi. Georgia’s premier seaside resort is home to glitzy casinos and high-rise international hotels, which loom large over faded communist-era apartment blocks lining a glorious five-mile seafront boulevard.

Styling itself as the Vegas of the Black Sea, Batumi is single-handedly reviving Georgia’s status as a beach destination.
