Travel Guide Oureki

It is the main seaside resort of Gourie on the Black Sea. If the coast is less attractive than in Adjaria, the beach of Oureki is famous for its black sand. One can easily stop there on the road to Batumi coming from Poti or Tbilisi via Lantchkhouti. As the sea is not particularly deep here, Oureki is an ideal holiday and swimming spot for families with children. The sand on the beach is renowned for its medicinal properties. Rich in magnetic iron, it is used for physiotherapy to treat arthritis. This sand also has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. A rather unique sand, therefore.
