After getting a lift from Dagva to Poti, we took a Bolt to Anaklia, which felt eerily like a complete ghost town. It’s full of closed hotels and resorts that only open in the summer, though apparently China’s planning to invest in rebuilding the town.

Travelling across Georgia with just a backpack each, we set out to photograph the country’s abandoned buildings - from pastel pink staircases to decaying Soviet-era theatres. This post covers our first stops in Shroma and Dagva, where forgotten architecture still tells vivid stories of the past.
