ZUGDIDI
Zugdidi is a city with a fascinating history and excellent taste. Although modern residents can trace their roots back to ancient settlers who arrived in the region over 4,000 years ago, it was the Dadiani family of the 19th century that had the most profound influence on the city. Situated at the crossroads between mountains and the Black Sea, Zugdidi is close to many popular attractions.
Just a thirty-minute drive from the city is Anaklia, a resort town on the Black Sea with hotels, restaurants, bungalows, and everything you need for a relaxing beach vacation.
To the north of the city lies the unique Enguri Dam on the Enguri River. The Enguri Hydroelectric Power Station has been designated as a cultural monument because it is the third tallest concrete arch dam in the world.
Excursions are conducted at the dam, and boat trips on the lake are organized, where you can admire numerous waterfalls cascading into azure waters.
Beyond the Enguri Hydroelectric Power Station, an incredible sight unfolds. The road winds between majestic cliffs and the rushing Enguri River, leading you to Mestia and Ushguli, the highest inhabited settlements in Europe above sea level.
