Outside it a lot of the seafront closes and Batumi becomes a quiet provincial city \u2014 which is cheap and calm, but not what most people come for.\r\nWhy does the skyline look like that? | The city decided to become a resort in the 2000s and built without much co-ordination, funded largely by casino money \u2014 gambling is illegal in Turkey and the border is fifteen kilometres away. The results include a half-scale Eiffel Tower on an apartment block and a Ferris wheel set into the side of a building.\r\nWhat should I eat? | Adjarian khachapuri, because this is where it comes from: a bread boat of melted cheese topped with butter and a raw egg you stir in. It is 12 to 20 GEL and one comfortably feeds two at lunch.\r\nIs it safe to swim? | On patrolled beaches in season, yes. The Black Sea here has strong undertows and the beach shelves steeply in places, lifeguards work in summer only, and drownings happen most years. Do not swim after drinking or outside the patrolled sections.\r\nHow do I get here from Tbilisi? | The train takes about five hours for around 25 GEL and is considerably more comfortable than the six-hour marshrutka. Book the fast service if you can.\r\nDoes it really rain that much? | Yes. Batumi is subtropical and the wettest city in Georgia, with more rainfall than almost anywhere in Europe.
