Vani is an ancient city in the Imereti region of western Georgia, situated on the banks of the Rioni River, about 40 kilometers from the city of Kutaisi in the region. Although small in size, the city has a deep historical background, especially famous for the "archaeological site of Vani" - it is an important remnant of the ancient Greek colonial period, and the excavated pottery, sculptures and gold and silver jewelry witnessed the prosperous civilization from the 4th century B.C. to the 1st century AD, which is known as the "prosperous civilization of Vani". It is known as the "Pompeii of the Black Sea coast". Visitors can also experience a unique cultural experience in Vani, surrounded by one of Georgia's finest wine regions, where a thousand-year-old tradition of making wine in clay pots continues. As a node connecting the Caucasus with ancient trade routes, Vani is a must-see destination for exploring Georgia's diverse charms, combining history, archaeology and natural beauty.
