The church of St. George stands in Betlemi village of Kareli Municipality. The village name repeats the name of Bethlehem, and such biblical names appear more than once in Georgia.
A hundred steps away stands the parish church of St. Andrew, so both churches are seen from one spot. Betlemi lies north of Kareli, in the hills above the Kura valley, and Kvemo Rieti with its churches begins nearby.
Regular services may not be held, and the church can be approached at any time. Modest clothing is appropriate, and candles and offerings are left in their places.
