Dinosaur caves and Mysterious canyons

    The oldest settlements of Samegrelo existed in the territory of Kolkheti lowland and its nearby hills as early as the Stone Age. The Kindom of kolkhis was already known to the whole of the ancient world by the 8th c. BC. It was in Kolkhis that the first Georgian money was minted – the Kolkhetian tetri. The pre-Christian Kingdom of Kolchis, that existed on the territory of Western Georgia was the first Georgian state mentioned in Greek history and mythology as remarkable and mysterious country where the Argonauts sailed to carry away the Golden Fleece.
