Anaklia Weather
Anaklia weather stands out on the Georgian coast: its long sand beach at the mouth of the Enguri river gets the least rain and the clearest summer skies of any seaside spot we cover. August averages only about 21% cloud, highs reach about 28 °C (83 °F), and nights stay warm at about 22 °C (72 °F). Winters are mild too, with nights near 6 °C (43 °F). It suits a beach finale after Svaneti.

Best time to visit Anaklia
The best time to visit Anaklia is July to mid-September. The water then holds 25-27 °C, the skies are clearer than anywhere else on the coast, and hotels and the promenade are fully open. August is the warmest month in air and water, and the busiest. For a quieter swim, choose early September. If you are ending a Svaneti trek with a beach day, late August and September fit well, as the mountain trails are usually still open then.
The weather in Anaklia is defined in summer by open sky. With cloud cover of only 21-23% in July and August, the wide beach takes the full force of the sun, and there is little natural shade on the sand. Nights near 22 °C mean the heat lingers after dark. Rent an umbrella or bring a beach tent, put on sunscreen before you leave the hotel, and save the promenade for the hour before sunset, which comes at about 20:15-20:50.
What to pack for Anaklia
- A beach umbrella or tent, as the sand has little shade
- Strong sunscreen for clear July and August days
- Breathable clothes for nights that stay near 22 °C
- Sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat
- A light jacket for evening promenade walks in May or October
