Imereti, Administrative region in western Georgia
Imereti extends across 6,680 square kilometers of central-western Georgia, encompassing twelve municipalities with Kutaisi as its capital and main administrative center.
The region formed part of the ancient Kingdom of Colchis until the Russian Empire annexed the territory in 1810, ending the reign of King Solomon II.
The population of Imereti speaks a distinct Georgian dialect that divides into Upper and Lower Imeretian variations, reflecting the geographical distribution of communities.
The region maintains a network of local councils across twelve municipalities, coordinating services and administration for a population of 487,000 residents.
Imereti contains numerous caves, waterfalls, and the Khvamli mountain, while its inhabitants prepare specific dishes using walnuts and unripe grape juice.
