Description
Nestled on Georgia’s lush Black Sea coast, Poti Seaport is a hidden gem of maritime trade and history. Founded in ancient times as “Phasis” (the legendary destination of Jason and the Argonauts), today it’s one of the busiest ports in the Caucasus. This vital hub connects Europe to Central Asia via the modern Silk Road, handling everything from oil and grain to container cargo. Wander around and you’ll see massive cranes, busy rail links, and ships from distant lands. Though industrial, the port’s energy is mesmerizing—a crossroads where old myths meet new logistics. A must-see for travel and trade enthusiasts alike!
