To reach this church, I recommend leaving the car at the foot of the hill. Of course, if you have a good jeep with reduced speeds, then you will drive to the sight itself. We decided to leave the car in the parking lot before the start of the steep road. The legs had to walk about 0.5 km. The location of the church is fantastic with wonderful views all around. The church is located on top of a hill and is surrounded by ancient megalithic walls. The church has been restored and is open 24/7.

ამ ეკლესიამდე მისასვლელად გირჩევთ დატოვოთ თქვენი მანქანა გორაკის ძირში. რა თქმა უნდა, თუ გყავთ კარგი ჯიპი შემცირებული სიჩქარით, თავად მიხვალთ ატრაქციონამდე. ციცაბო გზის დაწყებამდე გადავწყვიტეთ მანქანა ავტოსადგომზე დაგვეტოვებინა. ჩემს ფეხებს დაახლოებით 0,5 კმ სიარული მოუწია. ეკლესიის მდებარეობა ფანტასტიკურია, ირგვლივ ულამაზესი ხედებით. ეკლესია მდებარეობს ბორცვის თავზე და გარშემორტყმულია უძველესი მეგალითური კედლებით. ეკლესია რესტავრირებულია და მუშაობს 24 საათის განმავლობაში.
