The church of St. Nino stands in Gardateni village of Gori Municipality. Sources link the church with Ateni: the village lies right by the entrance to the gorge.
Gardateni spreads south of Gori, where the valley narrows and the road along the Tana river begins. The St. George shrine and a Virgin Mary church stand in the village as well.
Visiting is free, and modest clothing is appropriate for a service. If the church is closed, locals will tell you when services are held.
