More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of Batumi’s humid air into a comfortable minivan and watch the coastline fall away as the mountains draw near—forested slopes give way to vertical limestone, and the river’s voice grows louder. The day moves in chapters: a slow boat through Martvili’s cleft, a vertiginous walk along Okatse’s hanging trail, and the cool cathedral hush of Prometheus Cave.
