Poti

Poti is a city in the Samegrelo province in the west of the Republic of Georgia. It is situated on the east coast of the Black Sea and therefore serves as one of the three Georgian ports on that sea. Nearby the city, the major river of Western Georgia, Rioni, enters the Black Sea. Poti was founded as a Greek colony in the 7th century BC and named Phasis.
