Discover the beauty of Kolkheti National Park and the stunning Black Sea coastline on a guided tour from Kutaisi. Visit the ruins of Shkhepi Fortress, explore the city of Poti, and take a walk through the forest to Golden Lake.

Stop about an hour from Kutaisi to visit the beautiful ruins of Shkhepi Fortress. Take a short and easy hike to reach the site. After that, explore one of the most important cities in Georgia — Poti.

Poti is a major port city on Georgia's Black Sea coast, located where the Rioni River meets the sea. Often nicknamed “Little Paris,” it is unique for its 19th-century radial city plan, featuring 10 streets spreading out from a central cathedral. It is the largest and deepest seaport in Georgia, handling around 80% of the country’s container traffic and serving as a vital trade link with Armenia and Azerbaijan.

In the city, your guide will show you Poti Cathedral, Poti Lighthouse, and Niko Nikoladze Tower. Take a short lunch break before heading to Golden Lake, located near Poti. Walk through the forest and experience the natural beauty of Kolkheti National Park. Cross a bridge over the lake and explore a small abandoned village that was built for the European Water Skiing Championship when Poti hosted the event.

If you wish, you can also enjoy an amazing boat ride on the lake. Tourists often call this place the “Amazon of Europe.” Please note that this activity is only available during the warm season.

After this beautiful tour, drive back to Kutaisi.
