Ozurgeti

Also known as Makharadze

Ozurgeti is a town in western Georgia, the administrative centre of the Guria region, a short distance inland from the Black Sea coast. It served as the residence of the Gurieli princes of Guria and, after the Russian annexation of 1829, as the seat of a district. Named Makharadze in the Soviet period from 1934 to 1989, it is surrounded by tea and citrus plantations.
