About this tour
This session follows Batumi's seafront boulevard to the moving statue of Ali and Nino, two figures that merge into one shape and slowly pull apart again. You see the palm-lined promenade and its sculptures first, then the statue's full cycle up close. It is one of the most recognisable stops in the city, explained rather than just filmed.
We walk at an easy pace along the sea, then stop and wait at the statue long enough for a full cycle to play out on camera. I tell the story behind the two figures while we wait, and questions work well throughout.
It suits a first stop in Batumi for almost anyone, and travellers who want the boulevard's best-known landmark properly explained.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
