Khelvachauri holds the right bank of the Chorokhi, a village that became a Batumi neighbourhood inside the Autonomous Republic of Adjara.
About Khelvachauri
Where to stay in Khelvachauri
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Khelvachauri keeps its own ground on the right bank of the Chorokhi, eight kilometres out from the Batumi seafront where nearly all of the city's hotel stock sits. Few rooms cross the Chorokhi. What Khelvachauri offers instead is the eight-kilometre run back into the centre, and quiet ground once the run is done.
Stay here if you want the Autonomous Republic of Adjara at village scale, with Batumi near enough for a day in the city and far enough to leave behind at night.
About Khelvachauri
What are the main landmarks in Khelvachauri?
The Chorokhi bank carries no listed monument along Khelvachauri. Anyone hunting a monument here should count the eight kilometres into the regional capital as part of the day. That leaves the river as the one fixed mark on this ground, running the length of the neighbourhood and holding the village clear of the streets where Batumi shows itself off.
What is the history of Khelvachauri?
Khelvachauri held the rank of daba from 1968 to 2011. Municipal borders were redrawn at the end of that run, and by far the greater part of the town passed into the city municipality of Batumi, which left what remained to be counted as a village again. The demotion was administrative.
Ground did not move with it, and the right bank of the Chorokhi still holds the same village under a Batumi address inside the Autonomous Republic of Adjara.
Where is Khelvachauri?
The right bank of the Chorokhi River holds Khelvachauri, eight kilometres southeast of central Batumi within the Autonomous Republic of Adjara.
