The parish church of St. Andrew the Apostle stands in Betlemi village of Kareli Municipality. The name of the village repeats the name of Bethlehem, and such biblical names appear more than once in Georgia.
Betlemi lies north of Kareli, in the hills above the Mtkvari valley. Koshkebi with its basilica and Kvemo Rieti with two churches stand on the neighbouring slopes.
Visiting is free, and modest clothing is appropriate for a service. If the church is closed, locals will tell you when services are held.
