Tbilisi Sea

The Tbilisi Sea is an artificial lake created in 1953. It serves as a recreational area for residents and visitors, providing a space for swimming and walking along the shoreline.

Getting There

The lake is located outside the central districts of Tbilisi. From the city centre, the most common way to reach the area is by taxi or ride-sharing app. The journey typically takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on traffic conditions.

Duration of Visit

Depending on the activity, allow 2 to 4 hours. This provides enough time for a walk along the water or a swim during the warmer months.

When to Visit

The site is most frequented during the summer season for water activities. It can become crowded on weekends and public holidays when locals visit for leisure. For a quieter experience, visit on weekdays or during the shoulder seasons of spring and autumn.
