Maltakva Beach — a Sandy Escape Like Cyprus

Maltakva is a wide sandy beach on the Black Sea coast near Poti. Its main advantages are space, soft sand and a gentle entry into the water, which makes it great for children. Compared with Adjara's popular resorts it is calmer, and it is usually easier to find a spot even in summer. Maltakva is one of Poti's best-known beach areas and lies between the Black Sea and Lake Paliastomi.

The beach suits anyone who wants a whole day by the sea without the bustle of a big resort town. There is beach infrastructure, places to relax and wide open sea views. It is especially nice towards the evening — the broad shore is perfect for walks and watching the sunset.

Another plus is the location. You can combine a beach day with a trip to Lake Paliastomi and Kolkheti National Park, where boat trips and nature watching are available. So Maltakva works not only for swimming but also as a stop on a road trip along Georgia's Black Sea coast.
