Naeklesiari means the site where a church once stood. This is one of them: nothing of the building survives, while the site has remained by the cemetery and carries the name Akhaldaba.
The ruins of the Akhaldaba church of St George stand two hundred and eighty nine metres away: two monuments of one locality in different states of survival. The Lomisa niche lies a kilometre and four hundred metres off, the church of St George in Upureti a kilometre and a half.
The site is open, there are no gates, and you can come at any hour. The cemetery beside it is in use, so keep quiet, do not walk over the graves and do not touch what has been left. The four Upureti shrines are conveniently walked in one outing.
