The most famous balneological resorts in Georgia are still visited by everyone who prefers natural gifts of nature even to the most modern pharmacological discoveries.
Borjomi has no bad weather
The legendary Borjomi mineral water occupies the first position in the lists of export goods of Georgia. It is named after the town where the springs are located and this place on the map of the republic is well known to all connoisseurs of Georgian nature.
The resort is located in the gorge of the Kura River at an altitude of more than 800 meters above sea level. Its microclimate is unique and inimitable, and the weather in Borjomi is characterized by moderate air temperatures at any time of the year. Broad-leaved and coniferous forests are also curative factors. They enrich the air in the region with a huge amount of phytoncides and oxygen.
Borjomi water is extremely useful for those who have problems with the stomach and intestines, biliary tract and urinary system. Baths with mineral water in the local sanatoriums are prescribed for patients with pathologies of the respiratory tract and nervous system.
The history of the famous Georgian balneological resort began in the first third of the 19th century, when General Golovin, being in Transcaucasia, was the first to appreciate the beneficial properties of the local mineral water. In 1845, the Tsar's governor in the Caucasus M. S. Vorontsov ordered the construction of a gallery, and 40 years later, the water of Borjomi began to be bottled and packaged industrially.
