Why Batumi is the best place to buy property in Georgia
Batumi is Georgia's main resort and second-largest city. Located on the Black Sea coast, 20 km from the Turkish border. Population around 170,000, but the city welcomes millions of tourists in summer. Subtropical climate: mild winters, warm summers, 250 sunny days a year. Property prices in Batumi remain among the most affordable in Europe amid rapidly growing infrastructure.
Old Batumi — historic heart of the city with European architecture, restaurants and the seafront. New Boulevard — modern district with skyscrapers, hotels and rental investment apartments. Gonio and Kvariati — quiet seaside suburbs with villas and townhouses.
Makhinjauri and Green Cape (Mtsvane Kontskhi) — premium districts with panoramic views and large complexes by international developers. Hotel-style apartments with managing companies offer guaranteed rental yield from 6% per year in USD.

This makes Batumi one of the most accessible markets without mortgage. Ihlas International Georgia helps you find projects with the best terms and verified developer reputation.
