This is my english version of a channel about Georgia in general and Batumi exactly. During this long 1 hour video I went through the whole city, detailfuly describing every part of a city. It is situated on the Black Sea, so attracts many expats and people who never knew before even about Georgia.
You will find out how much rent and food cost average in Batumi, will see how does new blocks look like (does it correlate with your perception of advertisements). I'll slightly describe the prices per square meter, and detailed reviews of the buildings you can find out on my channel. This is not commercial and I strictly recommend a qualified real estate agent before you buy from builders. But generally if you are fluent in laws and situation enough, you can do everything yourself. But I insist not to huurry up, being pleased wiith low prices!!!!
I like this place and love living here, so you need to know that my review is positive. I show things I don't like too, but I digust hype, so you wont find any scandals in my video. Sorry, but not interested)))
If something in this video is not clear, or need to be added, you can ask you question in comments, or write me in whatsapp (not during the night, please)

Excellent introduction to Batumi. You are very good at substituting words to get your idea across. Thanks for making this video!
I want to go Batumi this year… this is so informative video. Thank you.
So spacious in the old town. I love the old buildings, the trees everywhere. Not hoards of people pushing and shoving. What a laid-back, lovely place. I'm an Aussie who currently lives in the UK but am looking to move again. Batumi might just be worth a closer look. I'll need some space and a garden because after seeing all the homeless dogs I'll want to take them all home with me.
I'm in a similar boat, would you compare it to Sydney weather?
Thanks for this. Best overall video on Batumi expat-living so far across UA-cam.
Thank you for your respond. Don't hesitate to write topics for videos you think should be useful on this channel. I shall use all good ideas for new videos
... in English - yes
@@Alexander_Short I think an episode where you interview reliable renovators from Batumi might be a good idea. The black frame tours are great, but if there was a way to hear from the folks who do the upgrades & see apartments that have been converted with pricing discussions, my guess is that could be popular too. Thanks again for your insights & the interesting content.
@@tonyclayton Thank you. I shall consider that
Thanks for this information🙂
The old areas look fabulous 🤩
Hi Alex, my name is Tina, I’m from Georgia 🇬🇪 💗but now I live in Canada 🇨🇦 Vancouver 👍, I always wanted to buy a condo in Batumi or in it’s neighborhood, your videos are very useful to get some information what’s going on in real estate market in Batumi, thanks for all your work!👍
Hello. If you are fluent in russian, you can see my videos on russian version of a channel. The market wakes up, people still come in Georgia buying here. Most part of deals goes through installment plan. So you pay every month a small sum until the end of building process. Many people love that
@@Alexander_Short But would you also agree that there is an oversupply of new flats in Batumi and the flat prices might go down! Maybe to live it is a good idea to buy but how about as an investment!
@@sbadrawi2011a If there is over supply currently, I think prices already reflect that and after prime land is developed on then prices will be healthy.
Thank you man this is exactly what I was looking for 🤝
you are welcome
@@Alexander_Short Me too!! You have no idea!
This is an excellent realistic tour of Batumi, thank you!
Thank you for being so thorough and informative!
Thank you very much for your video. It was very useful 😊
Alex, I’ve been in Batumi for 3 weeks now, and I’m really impressed. The city and it’s people will grow on you after awhile. I’ve been staying in the Orbi City complex where it’s one huge construction zone inside and around the complex. But I’m convinced that everything will look nice and shiny in a few years. I’m also impressed with old Batumi with it’s beautiful architecture and restored old buildings. It’s much nicer than what you showed on video. The sea front promenade is also very nice near the port and cable car building. There are many dilapidated housing blocks and unclean areas with persistent poverty, so most people are packed into those blocks while shiny new high rises remain empty for most of the year until the tourist season. There’s only around 5 occupants on my entire floor at Orbi City, but I don’t mind peace and quiet during the off season. People are generally nice and helpful in Batumi. The only criticism I have is the limited shopping options and higher cost of goods. I’ve noticed some clothing, grocery and deli products costs more than in the US. However, housing and transportation is very affordable. A bus ride only costs .12 cents! The other thing is the weather. It’s a little cloudy and chillier this time of year, but it really doesn’t get any colder than Southern California. Since Americans can stay in Georgia for a year, I wouldn’t mind owning an apartment to use in the off season. I’m not looking to invest, but just having a second home in Batumi would be enough for me.
You are amazing brother
I ❤ GEORGIA ،،،، Georgia is paradise on the EARTH
Congratulations on the video. I'm thinking about living in Batumi and would like to see more videos about the city and the cost of living as well as the distance to the capital and ski resorts. Receive a hug and thank you once again for your informative video.
Good job
Very nice video, thank you for posting! I am from the netherlands and was thinking to go there for the holidays. I only speak English though... What was especially remarkable was the amount of toyota prius :)
Extensive video and covers all interesting aspects. I also love to see it through your honest perspective
Wow amazing descriptions, coming there in July and you have helped me know more about Batumi ☺️🙏🏾
You are welcome)
very detailed video, thank you. I spent a week in Georgia few months back and definitely need to come back.
thx for making this man, really enjoyed.
finally in english!!! like!!
Well done, Alex!
Good luck
Thank you, sir :)
Thank you
I think to by apartament in hotel our house in Batumi ....super content 🙂 on this chanel
Very nice video, thank you very much for detailed, tour. Keep up the good work, and maybe you can do more videos from different Georgian cities, and smaller towns.
I plan on traveling to Turkey & Georgia from Namibia next month. Batumi is one of my stops, and I’m sure it will be a cultural shock. Seems like an interesting town with a lot of variety. I like the new area along the coast. The old town has a little bit of character, but it can do without the graffiti. Seems like middle Batumi has a mix of old & new. Some buildings are definitely run down, but poor people and locals have to live somewhere. The newer buildings can be a turn off when residents hang their clothes over the rails of apartment balconies. They don’t even do that in Namibia.
Very useful information, thanks for sharing.
Great video!!! Thank you for sharing the information!
Glad, that information found a person who needs it)
That was so helpful! Subscribed. ♥

Very nice video I like it . Thanks for you ❤
Thank you! One of the first videos where you made it feel like I was actually there. It doesn’t seem like there is much to do there. I’m visiting in November, but am still excited. I was thinking of getting a place in Batumi,, but maybe I need to actually walk around, and see the building from the inside. Thanks again, and Love your English :D
It's very good information for people who wants to move to Batumi. I'm planning to get an apartment in Holiday inn. I subscribed to your chanel. New friends from Las Vegas. I'll see you in Batumi 👍
Excellent video!
Thank you for the work :-)
Amazing video.
Very nice!
Very good quality videos 👍👍👍
Great video! Thanks for sharing! New subscriber here. 😊
I have really enjoyed your video and your true comments. I am moving to Batumi from Canada/Costa Rica (after 1.5 years there) and really like old Batumi. Can you do another video review of the rental apartments in that area please?
thank you so much! can you please do tbilisi if it's possible? this video was very helpful
Thank you very much x
You are welcome
beautifull place...
Hi young man, that's a great informative content. I'm travelling in three weeks to Batumi. I have a simple question please, does the credit card work everywhere in the city? Or cash is preferred?
Card works everywhere, but there some exceptions such as carwash or other local services that are payed in cash
Good video, please post the link for the main website you spoke of.
what do you mean?
beautiful
მე 💜 ბათუმი
A big thank you mate! This is exactly what I needed and was looking for. As you said, all other videos is from tourists or people who's there only for a short time. Will be moving to Batumi in January. Maybe I'll see you there :D
Amazing video! Love it! Do you happen to know where could I find info on rentals in Porta Tower Batumi? Any website you could recommend?
use airbnb and after couple of days short term rent you ll get offers for long term. Thats simple
@@Alexander_Short you mean get offers from AirBnB hosts? Or talk to building reception staff?
@@silvestras88 from hosts. Pick offer for day or two from 7-8th position on airbnb, check it's available for narest couple of weeks and agree long term price with owner after coming
Is September still
High season ? It’s possible to swim in the sea in September?
Fantastic video. I feel like I'm there!
I'm curious, how much do cars cost in Georgia? And how was it for you getting a license to drive a car in Georgia?
It is easy. Couple of days an 200 lari approximately
Good to see a pet-friendly city. How do they manage the droppings?
Thank you, Way2Ge. I subscribed to your channel. One (maybe not so) trivial question. Near min 31, by the shore, there was a flash of a Nazi Swastika. Could you comment on the political situation from your Russian perspective? I interested in Batumi and even thinking of living there for a month, with my wife.
Спасибо
Thanks for the video, it is pretty informative. I bought a flat back in 2016 for investment, it was completed in 2019. Now hoping to see some return for my money. Love the place, the wine and the food. I speak some Turkish, do you know if Turkish is somewhat understood?
Some people speak here turkish. But mostly they are ethnic turks from Turkey who moved here or have business here
Hi Thanks for your video. You mention in the video that you are putting a link for a website that you can find rentals there, i don't find the link here.
myhome.ge
@@Alexander_Short thank you
Hello, just watched Your video, planning to stay in Batumi for couple months, maybe You can share the link to the page where i could look for apartment rent ?
myhome.ge
Hi there !
from what I read it rains every third day and that puts me off a bit.
Was thinking of Batumi end of august or end of september ?
Thanks !
I had to stop watching just to say that, I admire your kindness to the waitress, I do the same when I meet a waitress and its not common, keep it great !
Thank you for for sharing the video. I'm from London and I enjoy it the video so much. Batumi is bustling and vibrant city than I thought. I am so surprised one can buy a flat for less than $20,000 its incredible?
Sure, but watch out the quality of cheapest offers
Hello! Excellent video! What is that link to rent a flat for affordable prices?
myhome.ge
It sure beats living in a car-centric city like Dubai.
Hi great video and info. I live in Thailand and I must leave every 30 days and I would love to move to Georgia. Can you recommend a place for rent for 300 to 400 dollars. Thank you very much
How hard (or easy) can be for a person who just speaks English and wants to live, at least a year in Batumi?
Could you recommend an affordable town not too far from the city? 💙
What do you think of the NEXT Green apartment building units that are for sale?
What can I think about that is not already built?))) I think you must thoroughly check the contract, you sign or use something who is fluent in it
could you link to the russian version of your channel please?
Where is website for rent? Or property buy
can we get parttime job for students in batumi and how? can you please let me know
From investor perspective, a residence with $50k market value will approximately generate how much rent if rented short/long term during on/off season? Thanks!!
about 300 per month yearly. Or 25-30$ per day for the moment. Before pandemic it was better
@@Alexander_Short That's still better than rental return in Canada, here currently it is about 4.5% ROI annually long term (airbnb are not allowed in most buildings) minus higher tax, and building maintenance fees, also tenants are protected by law if they choose to not pay they can live there free for several months.
However property prices have increased ~20% over the past yr.
Was it significantly better before the pandemic?
@@event__horizon Yes. About 150% better
@@Alexander_Short Thanks for sharing the info!
what is the website to find rentals in Batumi?
Love your video.
You recommend the New part.
Does the Government there mandate Covid vaccinations or, do they leave it up to the individual like Russia?
Thanks
You re free to do, but you cant visit restaurants gyms etc without vaccination or pcr-test
@@Alexander_Short
That is the way it should be.
What Real Estate company can I trust there to buy a 2 bedroom condo?
Thank you very much.

Hello. What do you think of the Alliance Palace building? Is 60000 dollars too much for a 33 m2 room there to buy? Thanks
Generally, I dont think about them at all)))
Can you suggest me on renting a good place/apartment i am a student at bau batumi and am looking for a good apartment

First and once more, this video is great. But one suggestion. At min 13+ you share the food. Honestly, your choice was very poor. I m sure there were options that would visually show a richer picture of the Georgian food you praise so much, than the bland dim sun and the unimpressive thick pizza with an egg on top. Even if it is exactly the food you like, keep in mind you are making a video and in video the visual thing matters.
