Batumi Synagogue Synagogue

Batumi Synagogue is a Jewish house of worship in the city of Batumi, serving the local Jewish community and located within the city’s central district near the Black Sea boulevard.

The synagogue dates from the period when Batumi developed as a multiethnic port city and continues to function for religious services and community events. Its position in the urban fabric places it close to Batumi’s principal promenades and tourist areas.

Visitors should be respectful of services and community use; the synagogue is part of Batumi’s historic religious and cultural diversity.

The synagogue is in central Batumi near the old town and the port area; it is walkable from Batumi Boulevard (about 10-20 minutes depending on starting point). Taxis are inexpensive in Batumi; ask to be dropped near the old market or Gogebashvili Street and then follow local signs or ask a shopkeeper.

• The synagogue is often used by the local Jewish community for services - check in advance if hoping to attend a service or photograph the interior respectfully.
• Visit late afternoon when the low light on Batumi's waterfront softens the concrete modernism nearby; the synagogue's facade reads quieter then.
• Combine a visit with a walk up Gogebashvili Street to see early 20th-century merchant houses that framed Batumi's multicultural past.
