Chakvi City

Chakvi on Georgia’s Black Sea coast attracts visitors for its seaside atmosphere, tea plantations and proximity to Batumi’s livelier scene. The area is known for Chakvi tea terraces and pebble beaches, while Adjarian khachapuri and coastal seafood showcase the region’s flavors. It’s a relaxed base for exploring Adjara’s coastal promenades, seaside cafés and nearby botanical gardens.

Chakvi’s Black Sea coast is most pleasant from late spring through summer when beaches, tea gardens and promenades are lively. Winters are mild and very wet, so expect rain and closed seasonal businesses outside summer.

Chakvi is a small coastal settlement west of Batumi in Adjara; most visitors arrive via Batumi Airport or by land from Tbilisi. Local minibuses (marshrutkas) and taxis are the most practical ways to get from Batumi to Chakvi.

The simplest way into Chakvi is via Batumi (by air or train) then a short taxi or marshrutka ride along the coast. Marshrutkas are cheap and frequent; use taxis for faster or late‑night transfers.

Shopping in Chakvi is basic: small shops, seaside cafés and local stalls selling produce and simple goods. For a broader range-clothing, electronics and larger supermarkets-head to nearby Batumi.

Chakvi’s evening life is low‑key, centring on beach bars and cafés that stay open later in summer. For a livelier nightlife scene with clubs and extensive late‑night options, go to Batumi.
