Welcome to Cordele, your gateway to South Georgia and the Watermelon Capital of the World! Cordele offers a prime location on I-75 mid way between Atlanta and the Florida state line, a great place to stop for the night. You will find many dining options in our city, from fast food chains to fine dining. For entertainment, we have a nice little movie theatre as well.
