Common questions about ბორჯომი
Is this the same Borjomi water we know?
Yes, the same source. You drink it straight from the spring in the park — slightly salty and warm, different from the bottled version.
Can I stop there on the way to Batumi?
Yes, and that is its best use: a lunch and rest stop that splits the six-hour drive in half.
