The Svetitskhoveli church stands in Busheti village of Telavi Municipality. Svetitskhoveli translates as the life-giving pillar; the main cathedral of Mtskheta bears the same name, but this is a modest village church of Kakheti.
Busheti lies on the edge of the Alazani valley, next door to Tsinandali, among vineyards. Akura with its churches is also close by.
Visiting is free, and modest clothing is appropriate for a service. If the church is closed, locals will tell you when services are held.
