The church is dedicated to the Archangel Michael, though in common speech it is more often simply the Algeti church, after the village. Both names belong to the same church and do not contradict each other.
Care is needed with the word Algeti here: a village, a river and a nature reserve in this part of the region all carry it, so navigate by the coordinates. The village itself lies two kilometres from Manglisi, an old mountain resort among pine forests.
There is no fixed schedule of services, but the village is lively and it is usually possible to step inside. The usual rules apply: covered shoulders and knees, quiet. The stop combines well with a trip to Manglisi or a walk in the Algeti reserve: the distances here are short and the air noticeably cooler than in Tbilisi.
