Miracle Park (the Park of Miracles) is Batumi’s modern waterfront showcase, at the northern end of Batumi Boulevard where the promenade meets the harbour. In one short walk you pass the Alphabet Tower, the moving Ali and Nino statue, the Chacha Tower and a panoramic Ferris wheel, all set against the Black Sea.
This guide covers the story behind the landmarks, the best photo spots and everything you need to plan a visit.

History of Miracle Park
Batumi Boulevard dates back to the 1880s, but its northern end by the port was rebuilt from around 2010 as part of the city’s seafront redevelopment, which turned Batumi into Georgia’s main Black Sea resort.
- Ali and Nino (2010): Tamara Kvesitadze’s kinetic sculpture, first called “Man and Woman”, was inspired by the 1937 novel Ali and Nino about a Muslim Azerbaijani boy and a Christian Georgian girl. After a 2015 storm damaged its base, it was moved about 50 m inland.
- Alphabet Tower (2011): about 130 m tall, designed by the Spanish engineering firm CMD Ingenieros and inaugurated in December 2011. Its double helix of letters celebrates the Georgian script, which is on UNESCO’s intangible heritage list.
- Chacha Tower: a clock tower with fountains that was meant to pour free chacha (grape brandy) at set times; that feature has long been out of use.
Attractions at Miracle Park
- Ali and Nino statue: two steel figures, about 8 m tall, that glide towards each other and pass through one another; read more in our Ali and Nino statue guide.
- Alphabet Tower: the 33 letters of the modern Georgian alphabet spiral up the structure, topped by a sphere with a panoramic restaurant and viewing level.
- Ferris wheel: a seafront wheel with views over the port, the boulevard and the hills behind the city.
- Chacha Tower: a tall clock tower ringed by fountains, a short walk from the statue.
- Batumi lighthouse: the old lighthouse by the port, one of the few older landmarks in this corner of the city.
Things to Do at Miracle Park
- Photograph Ali and Nino at dusk: the figures start moving in the evening (usually from about 7pm) and are lit up after dark; stand a little back along the promenade to catch the whole movement.
- Frame the Alphabet Tower: the wide paved area around its base lets you shoot the full tower; it is most striking when lit at night.
- Ride the Ferris wheel: for an aerial view of the park, the port and the coastline.
- Walk the boulevard south: the promenade continues for several kilometres along the beach, with cafés, gardens and bike paths.
Miracle Park – Entry Eligibility and Open Timings
- Entry: free; the park is an open public space.
- Paid extras: the Ferris wheel and the Alphabet Tower charge separately and keep their own hours, so check locally for current times and prices.
- Access: flat paved paths suit wheelchairs and pushchairs.
How Long to Spend at Miracle Park
Plan 1–2 hours, ideally from late afternoon into the evening so you see the park in daylight, at sunset and lit up.

- By taxi: Bolt and local taxis are cheap; ask for the Alphabet Tower.

Miracle Park sums up modern Batumi: a free seafront park where the Alphabet Tower, the Chacha Tower and the moving Ali and Nino statue tell the story of the city’s reinvention. Come before sunset and stay until the lights come on.
From here it is an easy walk to Europe Square and the Astronomical Clock, so you can see the best of central Batumi in half a day.
