The Algeti (Georgian: ალგეთი) is a river in Kvemo Kartli, Georgia, spanning the municipalities of Tetritsqaro and Marneuli. It is 118 km (73 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 763 km2 (295 sq mi).[1] Originating at Mount Kldekari, the Algeti flows into a deep rocky valley and then a plain before joining the river Kura as its right tributary. The picturesque landscapes of the Algeti valley are protected as the Algeti National Park.[2]
