Which district to choose
Old Batumi is the historic centre and seafront. New Boulevard has high-rise new builds by the sea, many of them bought for short-term rentals. Gonio and Makhinjauri are suburbs: quieter, but further from the centre. For short-term rentals the sea matters most; for living, schools, shops and transport. Right now the cheapest are Makhinjauri, Bagrationi, the priciest Khimshiashvili, Gonio.
Makhinjauri — $1,200 · Bagrationi — $1,220 · Javakhishvili — $1,250 · New Boulevard — $1,350 · Airport area — $1,430 · Gonio — $1,550 · Khimshiashvili — $1,935
How the purchase works
- Decide on the budget and the goal: living, renting out or residency. This sets the city, district and type of building.
- Compare the flat’s price with its district. If it is far below or above typical, find out why.
- Check the developer, the building permit and the Public Registry extract: who owns the land or flat, and whether there is a mortgage or seizure on it.
- Have a lawyer read the contract before the first payment: completion date, penalties for the developer, what the price includes, the instalment schedule.
- Sign the contract and register the flat in your name at the Public Service Hall. It usually takes a few working days.
- If you cannot fly in, all of this can be done by power of attorney, made at a notary in your country with an apostille.

Apartments or a regular flat in Batumi?
