Destination story
A place with its own rhythm.
Nestled on the Black Sea coast just south of Batumi, Gonio is one of Georgia’s most cherished seaside resorts. It is celebrated for its pristine pebble beaches and crystal-clear waters, all set against a backdrop of lush green hills. The town’s historical heart is the ancient Gonio-Apsaros Fortress, a Roman-era stronghold that adds a profound sense of history to the relaxed coastal atmosphere.
For WOFA participants, Gonio provides a remarkable blend of natural beauty and deep-rooted heritage. Performing here means sharing your culture in a setting where legends have unfolded for millennia. The proximity to Batumi, the dynamic capital of Adjara, also allows groups to experience the region's lively arts scene, modern architecture, and famous Georgian hospitality, making for a truly comprehensive cultural journey.
