Why visit
Gonio-Apsaros stands south of Batumi and preserves layers associated with Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman control. Walking the visitor-accessible fortification gives the Black Sea coast a deeper historical context.
What to expect
It needs its own transport and time on site. Check open sections and interpretation rather than assuming every tower can be entered.
