EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty and rich history of The Raft Port in Tbilisi, the captivating capital city of Georgia. Nestled at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Tbilisi has long been a strategic location along the historic Silk Road routes, making it a coveted prize for various empires and powers throughout history. The Raft Port, located along the banks of the Mtkvari River, offers a glimpse into the city's vibrant past. Once an essential hub for trade and transportation, the port was used to transport goods from the Black Sea to the interior of the country. The rafts, which can be seen in this image, were traditionally used to navigate the river's rapids and shallow waters. Tbilisi's unique history is reflected in the architectural mosaic of its buildings, which blend Eastern and Western influences. The city's Old Town, with its narrow, winding streets and colorful houses, is a testament to its rich cultural heritage. Despite the passage of time, The Raft Port continues to be a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the riverbanks, enjoy a traditional Georgian meal at one of the nearby restaurants, or simply take in the breathtaking views of the city and the surrounding mountains. This photograph is a poignant reminder of Tbilisi's storied past and its enduring allure, inviting us to explore the many wonders that this fascinating city has to offer.
