Tourist Attractions
activities
Important seaside resorts in Georgia (from north to south):Anaklia, Ureki, Kobuleti, Mzwane Konzchi, Batumi, Gonio, Kwariati and Sarpi. The beaches on the Black Sea are rarely flat and the water is much wilder than e.g. in the Aegean Sea. The weather can change quickly and so can the swell. Therefore, the Black Sea is a difficult sailing area.
kitchen
The different Black Sea coasts can offer a lot of regional specialties. The region around Rize is fertile and known for its excellent tea and honey. The eastern part of the Turkish coast is known for its extensive hazelnut plantations.
