Samtredia is not a tourist region of Georgia and an important railway junction of Transcaucasia.
Samtredia is a city in Georgia, located in Imereti. It is often called a boring and unpromising city, since there is nothing it can do to attract tourists and local residents of Georgia. But despite this, Samtredia is important for the country's economy and is a major railway hub of Transcaucasia.

Samtredia - the city is located in Imereti. In documentary historical sources, the first mention of Samtredia is attributed to the 18th century. Before the appearance of the railway line in the area, the area was replete with swamps and forests.
Farming in such conditions was hopeless, there were few people willing to settle in Samtredia. With the advent of civilization, the swamps were drained, part of the forests were cut down, and Samtredia received the status of a city in 1921. According to the 2014 census, the city's population is just over 25,000 people.
In Soviet times, Samtredia, despite its small size, was distinguished by a developed industry. A woodworking plant, a plant for the production of equipment for tea-making enterprises, a cotton factory. In the post-Soviet period, most of the enterprises were closed.
Currently, agriculture is actively developing. Sophisticated travelers in Georgia tend to classify Samtredia as boring cities in terms of historical monuments. Regarding infrastructure, Samtredia is an important railway junction of Transcaucasia.
Kutaisi Airport, which has the status of an international airport, is located 10 km from the city. Well, perhaps it is worth mentioning that 50 km from Samtredia is the village of Bagdati, where Vladimir Mayakovsky, a famous Soviet poet, was born and grew up.
