It is known for its mild subtropical climate and Black Sea sandy beaches, making it a popular leisure resort in the region. The area around Hobi is rich in natural beauty, including the Korkis lowland wetlands and neighboring mountains, suitable for eco-tourism and hiking.
History and cultural features
The history of the Hobi region dates back to the ancient Greek colonial period and was once part of the Kingdom of Korkis. The town retains traditional Georgian architecture, with the remains of medieval churches and castles, such as the Hobi Fortress, nearby. The area is dominated by winemaking and agriculture, with citrus and tea crops, reflecting the unique farming culture of western Georgia.
Economic and Tourism Highlights
Khobi's economy is based on agriculture, fishing and small-scale tourism, with visitors experiencing Black Sea fishing, countryside lodging and wine tasting.
