About Makhinjauri
Makhinjauri is a seaside suburb on the northern edge of Batumi, in the Adjara region on the Black Sea coast. It sits at the point where the city gives way to the coast road heading north.
The suburb is also where Batumi's main railway station, Batumi Central, is located. That makes it the arrival point for trains from Tbilisi, and a practical base at the quieter end of the city.
People come for the pebble beach facing the Black Sea, for the botanical garden on the cliffs just to the north, and for easy access to central Batumi, a short ride south.
