The church stands about a kilometre from Varevani, beyond the built-up area. Another church is marked in the village itself, so the area holds two church sites.
Varevani belongs to Akhalkalaki Municipality on the Javakheti plateau. The plateau lies high, there are almost no trees, and buildings are made of dark volcanic stone. The winter is long and the roads between villages drift over.
Enter quietly if the door is open, and do not disturb those at prayer. The site remains part of the everyday life of the area, and that deserves respect.
Tips
- Combine the visit with neighbouring villages to save time.
- Bring a torch if it is dark inside.
- Keep some cash for a donation, as there is no card terminal.
Getting there
- Ask locals for directions, since the short way is not always obvious.
- The last stretch runs along a dirt road that softens after rain.
