Poti Sea Port & Yacht Club
Start exploring the port area, historically known as “Morvagzal.” Nearby you will see the Poti Yacht Club, a docking area for yachts, passenger boats, and cargo ships. The small Saint Nicholas Church is also located nearby and serves as a quiet maritime chapel.

Your guide will share the story of its construction and how the cathedral was transformed into a theater during the Soviet period before returning to its role as an Orthodox church.

Nikoladze Clock Tower
Next to the cathedral stands the historic Nikoladze Clock Tower, a unique 19th-century architectural monument. In 1896, Mayor Niko Nikoladze installed a mechanical clock imported from Paris on the tower’s top floor and even used the tower as his residence for a period.
