Gonio has always been one of my favorite places in Adjara — a quieter alternative to Batumi, where the Black Sea meets green hills and warm Georgian hospitality. During my latest trip, I stayed at Black Sea Line Residence, located on Andria Pirveltsodebuli Street, just steps from the beautiful Gonio beach.

I spent several days here, using it as my base while exploring the coastline, the local food scene, and the historical Gonio Fortress. What I discovered was a comfortable, modern apartment-style stay that felt perfect for travelers who want sea views, peace, and flexibility.
