Gantiadi

Gantiadi is a settlement along the Black Sea coast in Gagra Municipality, situated between the Caucasus mountain ranges. The town spreads along the shoreline with mountains rising behind it in every direction.

The settlement was historically part of different administrative regions, first within the Black Sea Okrug and later the Sochi district. This shifting status reflects the complex political changes that shaped the broader region.

The settlement reflects a blend of Georgian and Abkhaz influences in its daily life and local customs. This mixing of cultures shapes how the community lives and organizes itself today.

The settlement is accessible by local transport connections from Gagra, with the area following Georgian Time UTC+4. The easiest access is through the coastal road that links the neighboring communities.

The settlement gained official small town status in 1966, marking its transition from a rural village to a recognized administrative center. This achievement was a turning point in the place's development and local importance.
