    A medium-sized city with a population of 30,000 inhabitants, located in the Samegrelo region, in the western part of Georgia. Senaki is of great strategic importance, since it is located in the middle of the Tbilisi-Batumi highway, and two more roads lead from the city to Chkhorotska and Martvili. The northern outskirts of the city is located on the slope of the mountain, from where a beautiful panorama of the whole Senaki opens.

    Senaki received the status of a city in 1980, and from 1935 to 1976 it was called Mikha Tskhakaya, in honor of a famous Georgian political figure. The historical name was returned to the city in 1989, and it means “cell” in Georgian.

    The main artery of Senaki is Rustaveli Avenue, which runs parallel to the Tbilisi highway. Along the avenue are the main shops, cafes and office buildings of the city, as well as several functioning sewing workshops. On the eastern outskirts of the city, the avenue smoothly flows into the road to Martvili. In the middle of the avenue there is a small park, in the center of which there is an unusual monument to the victims of the war. This is a unique monument of its kind, since the entire sculptural composition is located inside a large concrete cube, and outwardly it resembles a building material. Not far from the park is the main Senak temple, erected on the site of an ancient church.

    To the south of Rustaveli Avenue there is a wide street on which the Senaki railway station is located, from where you can get to Batumi and Zugdidi. To the west of the station, a large market begins, occupying the territory from Rustaveli Avenue to the station. Here tourists can buy a wide variety of goods - clothes, souvenirs, Georgian wines, fruits and much more.

    To the north of the avenue, the city begins to take on a rural look and goes down the slope into the mountains. One street leads in that direction, along which you can go high into the mountains, where the forest begins and views of the entire lowland open up. At night, you can see the lights of Lanchkhuti and Vani from here.

    The tourist infrastructure in the Senaki region is very poorly developed, since the region is considered a military one. A few kilometers from Senaki there is an airfield and a military base of the Georgian Air Force. The military base in Senaki was built in 2005 and meets all NATO standards. The construction of a new military base cost Georgia 17 million USD.

    To the north of the city is the small village of Eki, where tourists can visit the ancient monastery of the XII century and the church of the XIII century, and in the vicinity of the village there are the ruins of an ancient fortress. In the northern part of the Senaki region is the abandoned city of Nokalakevi, which ceased to exist in the middle of the 8th century after the attack of the Arabs. On the territory of Nokalakevi, the ruins of a large fortress and several other ancient buildings have been preserved. Archaeologists found Bronze Age ceramics here, which are now presented in the Nokalakevsky Archaeological Museum. In addition to the fort, there are beautiful canyons and a stream with a pebble beach, where residents of Senaki and neighboring villages like to come for the weekend.
