Kolkheti National Park

Kolkheti National Park is located in the coastal zone of the Black Sea, at the mouth of the Supsa and Tikuri rivers, in the western part of Georgia. It was opened in 1999 with funds from the Global Environment Facility and the World Bank. Today, the territory of the National Park is 28,940 hectares, including 500 hectares of the Colchis State Nature Reserve created in 1947.

Most of the territory is swampy and is a migration route for Eurasian and African birds. Here you can see about 194 different species of birds. In addition, there is an amazing flora and fauna, rich in rare species. For example. In the Kolkheti National Park live endangered species of otters, newts, nutria.

Since 2007, the park has developed water tourism, diving, boating and horseback riding. The influx of tourists does not disturb the tranquility of nature and animals.

It is believed that it was here in 2000 BC that the first Georgian state, called Colchis, was created.
