May in Adjara. Sea, yoga, mountains.

Description

Hello, May is, in my opinion, one of the best months on Georgia’s Black Sea coast and in Adjara. At this time nature awakens, the mountains are incredibly beautiful, and there are almost no classic “sea tourists,” and therefore none of the hustle and crowds that accompany the high season at any seaside resort.

This tour is designed as a light relaxation and a break from standard urban routine — a small reset combined with getting to know the region. The tour includes two trips:

The first is to a non-touristic part of Mtirala National Park, to visit my good acquaintance Peter, who is passionate about honey and bees. He has been studying non-traditional methods of beekeeping for many years and is searching for a balance in the relationship between bees and humans. He can also share a lot of useful and interesting information about honey.

The second trip is to the waterfalls in the village of Kapnistavi and to Machakhela National Park. In recent years these places have become quite popular, but in my opinion they are still among the most beautiful locations in Adjara, especially in May, when there is no influx of visitors.

Tour itinerary:

Day 1: meeting, hotel check-in, rest. In the evening — a trip to Batumi and a walk along the Seaside Boulevard.

Day 2: trip to Mtirala. A non-touristic area, meeting Peter and learning about his beekeeping work. A walk through the forest and dinner with a Georgian family. A format without tourist crowds, with living nature, honey, and unhurried conversation.

Day 3: rest day, a more detailed introduction to various simple breathing techniques, etc.; optionally — a hike up to the Jvari viewpoint.

Day 4: trip to Kapnistavi and Machakhela. Dinner at a local resident’s home. Again, a format without rush, loud music, or mass-market shows.

Day 5: yoga, breakfast, and by lunchtime — departure home.
