Zugdidi, Georgia
The bustling main city of Samegrelo, Zugdidi is 108km northwest of Kutaisi. The nearest city to the Abkhazian border, it has absorbed a high number of refugees since the 1990s. It’s a stepping stone for getting to Svaneti or Abkhazia, and a base for exploring the less known attractions of Samegrelo.
