Borjomi town
Borjomi, a resort town in south-central Georgia, was a popular destination during the Soviet era due to its mineral springs and beautiful natural surroundings. The town's mineral water, sourced from the springs of the Borjomi Gorge, is one of Georgia's largest exports and is well-known throughout the former Soviet region. During the Soviet era, Borjomi was a favorite summer resort for the aristocracy, earning it the nickname "the pearl of Caucasus"
Already in the 1860s, new hotels were built, and an administration for mineral waters was established. Following the Red Army invasion of Georgia in 1921, the Soviet regime confiscated all aristocratic mansions and turned them into sanatoria, frequented by the Communist party elite. Despite the dissolution of the Soviet Union leading to a decline in Borjomi's popularity, remnants of its socialist past can still be seen today. The town's architecture, run-down houses, and former hotels bear witness to its Soviet history. The town is now making efforts to revive its status as a leading tourist destination, with a focus on ecotourism and agrotourism.
