[2025 Tbilisi Attraction] Travel Guide for Lake Lisi (Updated Jul)

As you take a leisurely stroll around Lisi Lake in Tbilisi, you’ll occasionally come across cows and horses grazing peacefully. The area surrounding the lake is rich in nature. Part of it serves as small farms or grazing fields, where locals calmly watch over the animals. If you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of cows and sheep freely roaming and grazing 🐑. This spot, slightly removed from the hustle and bustle of the city, offers a soothing view of grasslands swaying in the wind and animals enjoying their freedom, bringing a sense of peace to your heart. Discovering such simple yet charming landscapes during your journey is one of the many delights of exploring Lisi Lake 🫶🏼.

If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Tbilisi for a while, "Lisi Lake" 🌲 is highly recommended. Located just 15 minutes by car or about 40 minutes by bus from the city center, this serene lake is a favorite spot for locals to enjoy leisurely activities like jogging, picnicking, fishing, and simply unwinding 🍃. Taking a stroll around the lake is refreshing, and in summer, chilling at the lakeside cafes is absolutely delightful. You can even enjoy reading on the grassy areas. If you're feeling a bit worn out from sightseeing, this is the perfect place to relax and reconnect with nature 🫶🏼.

I stayed at the Lisi Hills Hotel in Tbilisi from which it is only 1km to the lake. However, Lake Lisi is also easily accessible from the city proper. The lake is ringed by low ridges that can easily be climbed. The more adventurous can then hike into the hills beyond. Its circumference is about 3km and there is a path that leads around the lake. There are lots of fast-food stalls at the entrance and I enjoyed some really saucy hotdog. Most stalls take apple-pay which is a massive plus for me and I suspect for others too.
