Poti
Poti is a port city in Georgia, located on the eastern Black Sea coast. Built near the site of the ancient Greek colony of Phasis and deriving its name from the same, the city has become a major port city and industrial center since the early 20th century. It is also home to a main naval base and the headquarters of the Georgian Navy.
Lake Paliastomi - "Georgian Amazon Jungle"
Lake Paliastomi is a small lake near the city of Poti, Georgia, connected to the Black Sea by a narrow channel. Its surface area is 17.3 km² and the mean depth is 2.6 m. Some ancient pieces of Colchis have been found near and in the lake by archaeologists. It is also an important fishery site. The lake is included within the boundaries of the Kolkheti National Park.
Poti Cathedral-an imitation of Hagia Sophia
Poti Cathedral or Poti Soboro Cathedral, is a Georgian Orthodox that is an imitation of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. It was built in 1906–07 with the great contribution of Niko Nikoladze, the mayor of Poti. Notably, Niko Nikoladze chose the location of the cathedral in the center of the town to make it viewable from every side of Poti.
