Prepare to be shocked as this is far more modern than some others stops on the Black Sea. Piazza Square is surrounded by hotels, restaurants, cafés, and pubs. The Italian architecture of this square is adorned with mosaics and stained glass art. The Greek Church of St. Nicholas is one of the oldest in the city and on the walking tour. A guide will tell you the story of the Colchian Princess Medea and the magical golden fleece and you will finish at the Batumi Boulevard, which stretches 8 km along the Black Sea coastline. This street is lined with popular attractions, beaches, cafés and bars, fountains and local fishermen. Here there is the Ali & Nino moving statue, a symbol of eternal love, and inspired by a truly tragic story.
Looking at the locally offered attractions and tours is the first thing a movie location scout will do to research a place.
