Georgia Guria

Ureki is a town and a seaside climatic resort on the Black Sea coast of Georgia. Unlike many areas on the Black Sea, in Ureki beaches are sandy, rather than covered in pebbles. The sand in Ureki is classified as black sand and has magnetic properties, which some believe treat a number of health problems, including cardiovascular diseases. Hence the name Ureki, which is a modified version of a turkish word 'yürek', meaning 'a heart'.
