The Old Zekvetsa naeklesiari lies near Zeda Chalovani village of Chiatura Municipality. Naeklesiari is the Georgian word for a spot where a church once stood: the building itself is gone, but the memory of it holds in the name.
The place is tucked into the hills north of Chiatura. A hundred steps away stands the active Zekvetsa church, which took the name of the same corner.
Access is free at any time, and the path runs along the slope. The spot is treated with care: stones are not moved and nothing is taken away.
