Sairme - balneological-climatic resort
Sairme water was discovered by hunter brothers, who followed the footsteps of a wounded deer. The spring flowed on the reddened stones with rust, and everything around was whitened by salt. Hunters noticed that deer often visit a same place constantly. The place was granted a name Sairme as deer translates as iremi in Georgian (Sa-irme – deer's place).
The shepherds also noticed that a certain area in about 3 km away from the Sairme streams was always green, there was no snow cover in winters, and the land was dry for a few minutes after the rain. The secret of the "magic field" was unveiled in the 1920s, when geologists discovered hot mineral waters below the ground.
Sairme is located in the mountainous zone of the subtropical belt, Baghdati municipality, Imereti region, Georgia. Resort is situated on the northern slopes of the Meskheti mountain range, in the gorge of the river Tsablaristskali, on 950 m above sea level, 25 km from Baghdati,
The climate is mild with snowy winters (average temperature in January - 1.0 ° C) and moderately warm summers (average temperature in August 17.0 ° C). Annual precipitation is 900 mm.
Notable for thermal waters, the first information about these waters can be found from the 90s of the XIX century. In the 1930s, Sairme was officially granted resort status. The first sanatoriums were built in soviet era. Infrastructure maintenance has also started.
