Sioni Reservoir, also known as Lake Sioni, is located in Tianeti Municipality, Mtskheta-Mtianeti, between the town of Sioni and the village of Lelovani, among the natural attractions of the region. The reservoir is fed by the Iori River and primarily serves practical purposes: regulating water flow, supplying irrigation to agricultural land, and the Sioni hydro complex forms part of the region's small hydropower cascade.
Despite its infrastructural role, the site draws visitors for fishing, picnics and quiet walks by the water. According to several reviews, heading a little deeper into the surrounding forest reveals scenic spots for camping.
A fair warning about the road. Independent reviews in different languages agree: the final stretch is only passable by 4x4, and visitors arriving in a regular car aren't warned about this in advance, which becomes a source of frustration despite the scenery. Plan your route with your vehicle type in mind. Some reviews also note that tourist infrastructure on site is minimal and the area isn't always kept clean.
