Hobi is a small town in the Samegrelo-Verkhnaya Svanetia region of western Georgia, located on the Black Sea coast about 30 kilometers from the main port city of Batumi. It is known for its mild subtropical climate and Black Sea sandy beaches, making it a popular leisure resort in the region. The area around Hobi is rich in natural beauty, including the Korkis lowland wetlands and neighboring mountains, suitable for eco-tourism and hiking.
The history of the Hobi region dates back to the ancient Greek colonial period and was once part of the Kingdom of Korkis. The town retains traditional Georgian architecture, with the remains of medieval churches and castles, such as the Hobi Fortress, nearby. The area is dominated by winemaking and agriculture, with citrus and tea crops, reflecting the unique farming culture of western Georgia.
Khobi's economy is based on agriculture, fishing and small-scale tourism, with visitors experiencing Black Sea fishing, countryside lodging and wine tasting. Conveniently connected to Batumi and Tbilisi via the E70 highway, it is suitable as a base for exploring the natural parks of the Autonomous Republic of Adjara. The low-key atmosphere makes it ideal for avoiding popular attractions.
