Batumi is a major tourism city in Georgia and Caucasus Region known for its beaches, casinos and colorful night life. This small seaside city’s tourism life revolves around a long street named “Bulvar” near the beach. In the morning, Bulvar is full of families and kids and in the night young couples and party animals fill the space. There are nice restaurants and bars a little inside the beach and this street, which was built in 1881, offers a very nice Black Sea seaside experience.
For most men traveling to Batumi, Batumi means night life and Batumi night life means 2 things: gambling and sex. In the Black Sea region of Turkey, from where most Turkish “tourists” hail from (since 2011 Turks can enter Batumi without passport), Batumi is known as Sin City and because most men from Turkey comes for commercial sex and gambling, they are not respected in Batumi so much.
These “tourists”, who are mostly there for “business” if you buy it, are mostly coming for casinos which are not legal in Turkey. Batumi is also known as The Las Vegas of Black Sea and Turks are not the only ones coming there to gambling. According to local sources, 70% of the tourists are coming to Batumi for gambling and half of this crowd comes from Turkey.
Some popular casinos in Batumi are Sheraton Peace Casino, Casino Iveria, Radisson Blue and Grand Palace Intourist Casino.
The second most popular “attraction” for Turkish tourists in Batumi is sex tourism. Discos and night clubs are full of sex workers and they are now becoming number one reason Turkish men travel to Batumi. The discos, night clubs and the girls are not comparable to the ones you will find in Istanbul but Istanbul is much far away to Rize and Trabzon compared to Batumi.
For these reasons, Batumi is increasingly becoming a big problem for families in Turkey. Many men lose a lot of money to casinos and sex workers there and at the end ruins their family life.
