Algeti Reservoir lies on the Algeti River, near Tbisi village, in Tetritskaro Municipality, Kvemo Kartli, about 55 kilometres from Tbilisi, among the natural attractions of the region. It's primarily a strategic facility rather than a resort: its full capacity is 65 million cubic metres, and the water feeds the Tbisi-Kumisi irrigation system, supplying villages in the Marneuli and Tetritskaro municipalities, including Jorjiashvili, Asureti, Koda and Marabda. A small hydroelectric plant, "Algeti HPP", with a capacity of 1.1 MW, is planned for the reservoir.
Despite its practical purpose, the site draws visitors with its expanse of water and surrounding mountain scenery. People come here to fish, picnic and take quiet walks along the shore away from the city. Fishing is permitted at the reservoir, though specific rules and any boat restrictions are best confirmed on site. There's no dedicated tourist infrastructure (cafรฉs, equipped beaches) here.
The reservoir is close to Algeti National Park on the northern slope of the Trialeti Range and to the town of Tetritskaro, making it easy to combine into one trip. In 2012, locals found a skull from the early medieval period on the banks of the Algeti, adding a touch of archaeological interest to the site.
