Poti, Port city in Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti, Georgia
The seaport of Poti stands on the eastern Black Sea coast where the Rioni River meets the sea, forming a strategic maritime gateway for Georgia.
Greek colonists from Miletus established a settlement called Phasis at the end of the 7th century BC, marking the beginning of this ancient trade center.
The Museum of Colchian Culture displays archaeological artifacts from Bronze and Iron ages, connecting visitors with the region's ancient heritage.
The Poti Sea Port processes 7.7 million tons of cargo annually and connects to Tbilisi through a railway system that facilitates national trade.
The Poti Lighthouse, built in 1864 by Easton Amos and Son, continued operating throughout World War II due to dedicated maintenance.
