Located in the Imereti region of western Georgia, about 220 kilometers from the capital city of Tbilisi, Tskaltubo is an important sanatorium and tourist town in the country. Famous for its rich natural mineral water resources and Soviet-era sanatoriums, the area has been a famous health vacation destination in the Caucasus since the 20th century.
Tskaltubo has unique radioactive mineral water, rich in minerals, which is believed to have healing properties for cardiovascular and neurological diseases. Dozens of sanatoriums were once built in the town, attracting tourists from all over the Soviet Union. Despite the fact that some of the facilities have fallen into disrepair, its neoclassical complex is still of historical value.
Today, Tskaltubo is gradually reviving its tourism industry, and some of the sanatoriums have been renovated and reopened. Visitors can experience mineral baths, explore abandoned Soviet buildings, or visit the nearby karst caves and Koloti Gorge. The town is easily accessible by train or road, making it a potential area for ecotourism and medical tourism in Georgia.
