Okroskedi breaks down into the roots okro, gold, and kedi, ridge: the golden ridge. Such names in Georgia usually describe not mineral wealth but a view: the crest of a hill that really does glow gold at sunset.
Guria, with its soft light and the constant haze over the greenery, suits such a name perfectly. The village lies in the foothills east of Ozurgeti, not far from Zeda Bakhvi and Vakijvari, so the three sites can be combined into one short route through the hills.
Neither a dedication nor a date has become attached to the building. There are no explanatory signs and parts of the road are unpaved. Dress soberly and treat the walls with care.
