We will begin the day immersing ourselves in the spectacular geography of Imereti with a visit to Okatse Canyon.

Next, we will change scenery heading to Martvili Canyon, a natural gem famous for the serenity and emerald color of its waters. In this idyllic setting, if water levels permit, we will enjoy a boat ride sailing silently between high rocky walls and refreshing waterfalls, as well as walking along its trails wrapped in lush subtropical vegetation.

Later, we will move to the "Pearl of the Black Sea", the city of Batumi. There we will have time to get lost in the streets of its old town, full of European charm, and stroll along the modern Boulevard by the beach, observing famous sculptures like Ali and Nino.
