The church carries a double name: the dedication to Saint George and the qualifier Arnauti. The second belongs to a place or a community, but what exactly stands behind it local tradition does not explain, and no explanation should be supplied.
The church stands at the edge of Tsintskaro, a village in the Tetri Tskaro district, in the hilly part of Kvemo Kartli. The neighbourhood here is multilingual: villages with Georgian, Turkic and Greek names stand side by side, and Tsintskaro is one where these layers meet.
There is no fixed schedule of services and the site can be approached at any time. The roads in this part of the region wind, and the last stretches to the villages are often unpaved, so allow more time after rain. The usual rules apply: covered shoulders and knees, quiet.
