The Natanebi (Georgian: ნატანები) is a river in western Georgia, located in the region of Guria. It originates on the northern slope of the Meskheti Range, at an altitude of 2,548 m above sea level. It flows into the Black Sea near Shekvetili. It is 60 km (37 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 657 km2 (254 sq mi).[1][2]
