Georgia, i.e. the northern part of the
Autonomous Republic of Ajara. It borders with Ozurgeti Region to the north. The Regional centre is Kobuleti City, which stretches along the Black Sea shore. It is located 28 km away from the Adjaran capital of
Batumi. After the civil wars of 1990–1993, the once sophisticated sanatoriums remained abandoned and plundered until 2004. Kobuleti has since developed into an upscale tourist center, being especially popular among ethnic
Armenians. The

bio-diversity. One can find rare flora in the Ispani marsh. The surrounding region has diverse soil: seashore lowland is rich in peatbog soil.
