Beachfront each on Batumi Boulevard. Batumi is a port city on the Black Sea in modern-day Georgia.
Batumi, in the late 19th century a prosperous port and fashionable resort at the southern extremity of the Russian Empire, slipped into oblivion during the Soviet years, but has now reinvented itself as a holiday destination and - incidentally - as a showcase of modern architecture alongside the original Belle Epoque. Visitors travel from as far east as Iran. The Turkish border lies close by and that country's influence is also palpable.
