Batumi and Gonio

Batumi is a beautiful port city on the Black Sea in the culturally distinct Adana region of Georgia. We only spent one night, but got to see some of the unique architecture walking around. I also ate one of the most delicious kebabs i've ever tried.

After sharing a drink with a hitch-hiking Aussie, we hopped a marshrutka to Gonio Fortress:

Gonio fortress is remarkable for having an entirely intact outer wall in use since Roman times. Different layers of the archeological dig show Ottoman, Byzantine and Roman relics, but it is also supposed to be site of the ancient city of Apsarus, where Jason and the Argonauts landed.
