Adjara is the region of Georgia where Islam is most widely present, and Kobuleti Municipality is no exception.
Drive a dozen kilometres inland from the beaches and instead of resort hotels you find villages where a minaret is as ordinary as a bell tower in a Kakhetian one. The Tikeri mosque stands in exactly that hinterland, away from the coastal highway. For a traveller who knows Adjara only through Batumi and Kobuleti, such a trip gives an entirely different picture of the region.
The rules are the usual ones: shoes are removed at the entrance, shoulders and knees should be covered, and women need a headscarf. Sightseeing during prayer is out of place, and photography inside is best agreed first.
