The church of St. John the Baptist in Ieli also carries the Svan name jgrovani. Such local names are usual in Svaneti and live side by side with church dedications.
Ieli stands five kilometres from Mestia and holds four churches. The church of the Transfiguration is three hundred and thirty metres away, the church of St. John the Evangelist three hundred and fifty, the St. George church four hundred and fifty.
Small Svan churches rarely hold regular services, yet the shrine can be approached at any time. Follow the coordinates.
