What could be better after a long week than slipping into sandals and a swimsuit, packing a book and SPF, and heading to the pool? At The Diary, we are firm believers in the restorative power of a pool day, especially during the height of summer. That is why our editorial team has curated five of the best pools in Tbilisi, ideal for pressing pause and finding a moment of calm.
