A popular resort place, the Tbilisi Reservoir or the sea, was created on the site of several small salt lakes. In summer, the water temperature rises to 28 degrees, which attracts tourists very much. The Tbilisi National Park was founded around the reservoir, which is the most important center of tourism development.
Tbilisi Reservoir (Tbilisi Sea) it extends for 11.8 km to the east of the city. It was created in 1951 on the site of several small salt lakes - Avlabar, Ilgunian and Kukian.

The length of the reservoir is 8.75 km, the maximum width is 1.85 km, the total area is 11.6 km2, and the maximum depth is 45 meters. The reservoir is replenished mainly by the waters of the Iori and Aragvi rivers. It is used for irrigation needs, for water supply of Tbilisi, for fishing, for water sports.
