The last weekend of April 2024 was filled with nature, good company, and memorable experiences. The journey took us to Salty Garden near Bazaleti Lake, where I met Anastasiya, who was working at the Salty Garden tavern, and later, a hike around Lisi Lake wrapped up the adventure.
Located in the picturesque surroundings of Bazaleti Lake, Salty Garden is a hidden gem perfect for relaxation. The area is known for its tranquil atmosphere, fresh air, and scenic landscapes. The garden itself offers a cozy retreat with charming outdoor seating, organic food, and a peaceful environment, making it an ideal place to unwind. The lake, surrounded by rolling hills, adds to the beauty of the spot, providing opportunities for short walks and photography.
One of the highlights of the weekend was meeting Anastasiya from Latvia, who was working at the Salty Garden tavern. Conversations about travel, culture, and shared experiences enriched the time spent at Salty Garden. The exchange of stories over a delicious meal made the visit even more enjoyable, reinforcing the joy of spontaneous connections while exploring new places.
To end the weekend on an active note, we headed to Lisi Lake for a hike. Located on the outskirts of Tbilisi, Lisi Lake is a popular destination for those looking to escape the city's hustle and bustle. The lake is surrounded by a vast open landscape with walking trails, making it an excellent spot for hiking, jogging, or simply enjoying the view. The fresh air and calm waters created a refreshing atmosphere, providing the perfect setting to reflect on the experiences of the weekend.
This weekend was a perfect mix of relaxation, social encounters, and outdoor exploration. Salty Garden near Bazaleti Lake provided a serene escape, meeting Anastasiya brought an unexpected yet delightful connection, and hiking around Lisi Lake added a touch of adventure. Moments like these remind us of the simple joys of travel and discovery.
