Kobuleti

the seaside climatic resort in the Republic of Adjaria, Georgia. The center of the Kobuleti District, the railway station, 21 km to the northeast of Batumi. It is situated on a wide sandy and small-gravel beach (its length is over 10 km) being one of the best on the Caucasus. In the north and northeast the resort territory is open (here it borders on the southwestern part of the Kolkhida Lowland), while in the east and southeast it is confined by the outspurs of the Lesser Caucasus. The vegetation in K. and its surroundings is represented mostly by decorative plants, tea and bamboo plantations and pine groves. The climate here is subtropical that is characterized by abundant warmth and high humidity. The flat relief of this resort facilitates free access here of breezes that alleviate significantly the summer heat and lower the air humidity in the nighttime. The winter is very mild, without snow. The mean temperature of January is 5 °C. The summer is very warm; the mean temperature in August is 23 °C. Precipitations make 2,500 mm a year, they fall mostly in autumn and winter. The sunshine hours in a year are equal to 2,200 which is conducive to development of thalassotherapy here. The winds here are mostly weak, their velocity ranging from 1.5 to 2 m/s. Still in 1904 the private villas and mansion houses started appearing here, but there was no resort construction. After the 1917 October Revolution in Russia the resort of K. became open for wide public. From 1923 K. turned into the resort of state significance. Private country houses became sanatoriums and rest houses. For a relatively short time K. turned into a large climatic resort where about 50,000 people a year could have rest. People with cardiovascular, respiratory (other than of the TB nature), nervous and arthritis problems came here for treatment. The town has the citrus-processing factory, canning factory and a tea factory. Population—18,900 (2009). On 26 October 2010 the Parliament of Georgia adopted the law “On Kobuleti free tourist zone”.
