Petra Fortress, Batumi Overview
A short drive away from Batumi, Petra Fortress, formerly known as Kajeti Fortress, stands as a historic marvel in the Ajarian village of Tsikhisdziri. The archaeological complex is a treasure trove for history enthusiasts, photographers, and those seeking a blend of cultural exploration and natural beauty. The fort complex consists of the remnants of a grand palace, ancient baths, and historical artifacts. You can take a private cab or local buses to reach the fortress.
It takes up to one hour to explore the Fortress. Having a local guide along can help you to have a better understanding of the Byzantine, Ottoman, and Georgian influences around the area and on the fortress that dates back to the 6th Century. There are guards to ensure safe visits as old ruins and stone structures can be quite fragile. It is advised to not climb on these structures.
