Sioni Reservoir, reservoir in Georgia
Sioni Reservoir is a large body of water in the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region in eastern Georgia. It was created by a dam on the Iori River and sits in a quiet setting with open views of surrounding hills and green fields.
The reservoir was likely built in the 1950s during the Soviet era when a dam was constructed on the Iori River to store water. This project was part of a series of small hydropower plants developed along the river.
The village of Sioni beside the reservoir is a gathering place for people who want to spend time outdoors. Fishing is a common activity here, and many visitors come simply to sit by the water and enjoy the quiet.
The site is accessible by car with parking available in open spaces near the village and on nearby fields. Plan to bring your own supplies since the rural area has few tourist facilities and amenities.
The water level follows noticeable seasonal changes, reaching its highest point in July and dropping noticeably by March. These natural cycles shape how the place looks and is used depending on the season.
