The church of St. George near Tsikhisdziri is a small church amid the hills of Dusheti Municipality, south of the main part of the village and closer to Ananuri. The site is marked as a monument of cultural heritage, and for a modest village church that is a weighty recommendation.
The place suits those who turn off the Georgian Military Road in search of quiet discoveries: a few minutes from the famed Ananuri fortress, and you are in a world of village churches where, most likely, no one else will be around.
The church is seen freely: there are usually no regular services here, and the old walls need care. The visit folds neatly with the Ananuri fortress and the other churches of the Tsikhisdziri area into one unhurried half-day. The best time is morning, before the coaches gather at the fortress.
