The Champion Dito House Museum keeps the medals, the kit, the sports equipment and the photographs tied to the name of its owner. Collections like this in Georgian villages grow around one athlete and become a point of local pride: schoolchildren are brought here and fellow villagers come to visit. It is shown in person, so the account is detailed.
The house stands in Tkhilnari, a village in the Khelvachauri municipality, south of Batumi by the road towards the border. Around it are mandarin orchards, hills and the Chorokhi river. The centre of Batumi is about twenty minutes away.
The house is small and half an hour is enough. The first half of the day is the easier time, and it is better to arrange the visit through the village in advance. Combine the trip with a route around Batumi.
Tips
- Arrange the visit through the village in advance
- Combine the trip with the Gonio fortress in the same direction
- Check the way on the spot, there may be no signposts
How to get there
- South from Batumi via Khelvachauri, about twenty minutes by car
- City minibuses run this way, the rest is a few minutes on foot
