Kutaisi, Ancient city in Imereti Region, Georgia

Kutaisi extends along both banks of the Rioni River, where green mountains transition into lowlands at an elevation of 120 meters above sea level.

The settlement traces back to the third century BC, serving as the capital of various kingdoms including Colchis, Iberia, and the united Kingdom of Georgia until 1122.

The Bagrati Cathedral and Gelati Monastery complex represent medieval Georgian architecture, with the monastery containing important mosaics, frescoes, and manuscripts from that period.

The Kutaisi International Airport connects the city with numerous European destinations, while local marshrutkas provide transportation to surrounding natural and historical sites.

The Sataplia Nature Reserve near Kutaisi contains limestone caves with preserved dinosaur footprints and underground rivers dating back to prehistoric times.
