Gonio: where to live near Batumi
Gonio is a southern coastal resort just outside Batumi, known for its clean pebble beach, the Gonio-Apsaros fortress and a calmer, holiday feel.
It offers seaside living with space and quiet, often newer or holiday-style housing, in exchange for distance from the city and seasonality. Part of the Batumi Suburbs macro-area.
What it is good for
Beach and calm just south of the city. Gonio combines a clean pebble beach, a relaxed resort feel and newer or holiday-style housing, quieter than central Batumi. For a seaside base with space, accepting a commute, it is a strong southern option.
Transport
Buses and cheap taxis along the coast to Batumi; a car is convenient. The airport is near to the north; the city center is a ride away.
Parks and sport
The beach and seafront are the draw — swimming, walking and cycling by the sea; the Gonio fortress and green surroundings add to the setting. Active recreation here is coastal and relaxed.
How it feels to live here
