Batumi

Batumi is a solid choice for nomads or long-term visitors looking for a low cost of living and a safe environment. Affordable rentals with sea views are common, and local taxi rides and food are extremely budget-friendly. The weather is pleasant for most of the year, and the old town along with the beach boardwalk offer walkable and scenic areas. Local produce is fresh and cheap, and a café/coworking scene is slowly growing due to an influx of remote workers from neighboring countries. The city is suitable for those who want a quiet, work-focused routine with some nature and active living options nearby.

However, Batumi has drawbacks. Road infrastructure and traffic can be chaotic, making walking or commuting unpleasant at times. Apartments, especially newer high-rises, are often poorly built and noisy. There’s a lack of international restaurants and well-stocked supermarkets. Service quality across many establishments is inconsistent, with long wait times and other inefficiencies. English is not widely spoken, especially among older residents, which can pose challenges when navigating local services. Overall, it's a good option for budget-conscious nomads who value safety, decent weather, and local charm over convenience and variety.
