About Keda
Keda is a small town in the green Adjaristsqali valley in Adjara, inland from Batumi. It sits on the road from Batumi to Khulo and the Goderdzi Pass, so traffic heading up the valley passes through it.
The area around Keda is known for its vineyards and its medieval arched stone bridges. Small family wineries are found in the villages nearby, and the valley holds several old single-arch bridges over the Adjaristsqali river.
People come for the bridges, the vineyards and the walking in the forested hills. Makhuntseti Waterfall and Mtirala National Park are both within the Keda area, making the town a practical base for exploring this part of the valley.
