Along Batumi’s seaside boulevard, local artisans and craftspeople set out stalls selling handmade souvenirs, from Georgian cloisonné enamel jewellery and hand-painted ceramics to felt, wood carvings and small bottles of homemade wine and chacha. Buying directly from the makers supports local artisans and their families and keeps traditional Georgian crafts alive, offering a more meaningful and sustainable alternative to mass-produced souvenirs. Browsing the stalls against the backdrop of the sea is a pleasant part of any stroll along the promenade.
