Tbilisi sea Reservoir

Address: Tbilisi Sea (Tbilisi reservoir), Tbilisi, Georgia

The Tbilisi Sea is an artificial reservoir on the outskirts of Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi, created to supply water and provide recreational space for the city. It is the largest water body in the immediate Tbilisi area.

The reservoir is used for boating, lakeside recreation, and local leisure activities, with developed shoreline areas and open spaces in places. Water levels and use have varied with infrastructure and seasonal management.

Construction and enlargement works for the reservoir took place in the mid-20th century as part of urban and water-management planning for Tbilisi. Since then it has been a persistent geographic feature north of the city used for both utility and recreation.

Geographically the reservoir sits to the north of central Tbilisi within the city’s broader metropolitan area, set against the foothills rising from the city basin.

• Artificial reservoir: Created as an artificial reservoir in the mid-20th century, it functions as Tbilisi’s largest inland water body and a local recreation area.

Accessible by local buses and taxis from central Tbilisi; roughly 10-20 km north of the city center depending on starting point.

• Cross either of the small footbridges near the western shore for good views back toward Tbilisi's cityscape.
• Combine a visit with the Tbilisi Sea promenade and the amusement park on the eastern shore for a contrasting local day out.
