BATUMI, the new Las Vegas you have to visit💥Best things to do & see in Georgia 2023

[@APlusRussian]

Great to see you and the girls 💙💙 Hope you are safe and successful on your _current_ trip, Dasha 🙏🙏

[@DariStep]

Thank you so much!!

[@NatashasAdventures]

I loved our time there! Batumi is a nice city, it would be interesting to see it in 10 years

[@DariStep]

❤️❤️❤️

[@dan_hitchman007]

Dari, thank you for another great overview video! Batumi is certainly unique with its eclectic mixture of architectural styles and historical timeframes. The dogs follow you around because they can sense you are a good person, which we all know is true. 😊 Have a safe and hopefully decent time in your current location. Be well and be happy! Until next time, take care and pleasant travels.

Cool video Daria. I’m a big fan of Batumi. It was fun visiting some familiar places through your video😊 no matter what time of the year it’s very enjoyable

Awesome video Dasha, I always think about how life can change in moment and thing's become unclear and uncertain. But looking through a hazard window you can make something out of nothing. Keep your head held high and move forward to the next adventure. Today this moment is for you. Love and peace ❤✌😊

[@letterbox203]

This video is a great documentary featuring a little bit of culture, architecture, historical buildings, and foods. Really appreciated the opinions of your guests. I know Las Vegas well and Batumi is getting there slowly. Right now it is more like Atlantic City.

Great to see Batumi. I’ll definitely go there one day

Spectacular town

[@silviunikita]

Very enjoyable and informing video. It reminded me perhaps of Balchik a little bit but Batumi seems way better looking and developing today.

[@jcben]

Quite a contrast between old buildings and new ones. It must be a cool place to visit in summer.

[@DariStep]

Exactly!

The old town looks a lot more interesting to me... it's always interesting how up-and-coming cities try to bridge history and the future

Batumi has amazing new and old architecture, very beautiful. With palm trees and flowers blooming it must not get very cold there. Even Las Vegas actually had snow last week. Thank you for the tour. But please don't wish it to become Las Vegas. It should keep it's charm of old and new. I suppose the nudist beach area there wasn't active in the winter... that would be a wonderful tour sometime.

[@JeffSchwenke]

Batumi looks like such an interesting place, Dari. I agree with you about it being most similar to Sochi. And, those balconies that you mentioned look similar to New Orleans, also look similar to the balconies in Ybor City, a historic neighborhood in Tampa, Florida. I thought about Ybor City because it is also famous for having roosters 🐓 roaming the streets 🙂

This is a great introduction to Batumi. The good things about going there in February are cheap prices and no crowds. I checked for flights, and it will cost three times more in July to go there from Europe.

They tie palm trees to protect them from snow. Sometimes Batumi gets really heavy snowfall.

Hi Dari. You certainly get around a lot. Good for you. Batumi looks very nice. I like how you give your opinion of the places you visit and foods you try and then get Natasha and Alena to give their opinions. Loved the botanical gardens and the view from the cable car ride. Best wishes to you.

I love the way you pronounce "roosters". Where I live we say roo like the word "clue" or "blue". It almost sounded like you had a diphthong meaning two different sounds when you pronounced the "roo" part of roosters. I love hearing different speech.

[@informationcollectionpost3257]

Via You Tube, this is my third compressed and media trip to Batumi. Once with Slava, once with "The Two Mad Explorers"(Luke & Naomi), and now with the three of you. It was definitely a Russian vacation town prior to Georgia's independence. The newest attraction is the Casinos or gambling which is forbidden in many Islamic countries and for many conservative Christians too. Good weather has always been a force to this location. It appears that speculation in real estate is happening and that over construction and price collapses may occur sometime in the future real estate market. ( don't invest too much of your money here as you may lose most of it) Love that double decker train where did the rail roads acquire it. ( what company did they buy it from) Hotel without kitchens and laundry facilities are running about $150 a night in Ohio. Your $50 a night sounds like a bargain. Lard on bread isn't very tasty. My grandparents ate it that way because they didn't want to pay for butter or margarine. It is excellent if used in baked goods in place of butter or oils but is not tasty when eaten by itself. ( canola oil, olive oil, or a product called Crisco in the USA) It makes excellent pie crusts, breads, etc. I believe that anything containing cheese is going to get a seal of approval from you Dari.

[@gabriellagirardi4741]

Batumi must be really a beautiful sea resort to visit especially in summer but also in winter and the contrast betwee the old and new buildings is wonderful. Thank you very much Dari for this great video. I wish you and the girls all the best and if you happen to come to Italy you are welcome.

[@DariStep]

Thank you a lot!

Your videos are very appealing as there are quite a few countries you explore I have not been and you seem to have interests similar to my own. There is always good exploration and discussion of food, art, culture, nature, gardens, costs, accommodation, transport, sports. This makes it all interesting. Your Moscow accent is very pleasant to the ear and being youthful you explore lots. Great stuff. Really enjoyable. Batumi looks great for a visit when I get over there - love the art that seems to be prolific. Beautiful gardens and elevated scenery over the sea. Good interesting part of the world you are in - the Caucasus region is definitely on my travel list. Thanks :)

I hope you will visit it one day 🤗

Greetings from Panama . Привет Дари от Роберто из Панамы!

[@McTroyd]

You were spot on with your comparison of old town Batumi and New Orleans, especially the French Quarter. That sort of wrought iron is everywhere. New Orleans is my favorite city in the 'States, and I hope you get to visit it one day. I suspect you'd like Geneva (in Switzerland) as well. Magnificent architecture spanning literal centuries, French food and design, Swiss chocolate (of course!), and Lake Geneva with its stone marina. Expensive as heck, but I found it to be worth every penny for the five days I was there. 👍

Please dont compare smelly new orleans to batumi ive been to both places multiple times

[@kennethnyhuus3768]

You definitely get around Georgia 😃 Since you guys clearly are not gamblers and casinos probably don't allow filming inside, I wonder how big the casino area will be. like is it downtown, by the waterfront, or spread around in the city. How have if affected people living there? Would you say/think Batumi offer tourists good attractions/activities (in summertime) day and night? Would a trip to Batumi be family friendly or mainly for "rich" people visiting casinos? 🤑 A quick trip with a quick rundown of nice places and areas to visit during a weekend trip. And more important a good review of places to eat 😋 Dogs follow you because they sense that you are friendly, harmless and loveable person... and smell/hope you have snacks 🥰 Wonderful to hear you got surprised by Batumi and Alinas Bumble, although banana latte sound very good too. Never tried any of them, so that would be on my watch list for things to try 😍 Happy Birthday to your Lucky dog and hope you and your family will enjoy some quality time together 🥰

[@DariStep]

Thank you so much for your nice words and interesting questions!! We are absolutely not gambling people and I didn’t even have a thought of visiting a casino in Batumi lol (while probably I should have considered it for the yt content ahaha) so I don’t know how it looks inside - but for sure there are pictures of the websites. I believe Batumi will be great for both families (I’ve seen lots of couples with kids there) and people who want to play at casinos 🎰 And I think in summer it’s even more fun than in winter!

[@jliu0707]

Dari, your content has a lot of depth. I enjoy your life journey whichever way it will take you. Best wishes! Have you thought about visiting China? You will be well liked there!
