Why visit
Makhuntseti Waterfall drops about fifty metres into a pool, a five-minute walk from the main road into mountainous Ajara. Picnic spots and stalls selling honey, churchkhela and local food surround it.
What to expect
Nearby, an arched stone bridge from the ninth or tenth century crosses the Acharistsqali River. It is among the largest of its kind in Ajara. Both are easy stops on a half-day trip from Batumi.
