Anaklia is a small resort village on the Black Sea coast, located in western Georgia. It is located near the mouth of the Inguri River and is connected to the village of Ganmukhuri by a 540-meter bridge.
The modern name of the place is derived from the ancient Colchian colony of Herakleia. It played an important trading role in the Pontic (Black Sea) region. With the decline of the Hellenistic era came the decline of Herakleia. Transformed into Anaklia, in the 15-18th centuries it was a fortified port of the ancient principality of Mingrelia, and in 1723 it became a commercial port of the Ottoman Empire. In 1770 the port was recaptured and became part of Imeretia.
The main attraction of Anaklia is the ruined fortress of the early 18th century. Today the place where the local population was taken as slaves to the Ottoman Empire is occupied by an Orthodox church.
