Kolkheti National Park encompasses wetlands, forests, and lagoons along the Black Sea coast, providing critical habitats for numerous migratory birds and endemic species.
The park territory belonged to the ancient Kingdom of Colchis, established around 2000 BCE, where the first Georgian coins were minted and trade flourished.
The wetlands and surrounding areas maintain strong connections to Georgian folklore, with local communities preserving traditional fishing and agricultural practices across generations.
The park offers guided tours through its network of trails, with spring and autumn providing optimal conditions for birdwatching and wildlife photography.
