The church of the prophet Elijah stands on the grounds of the Karmeli monastery near Gverdzineti village. The dedication and the name of the place agree: Karmeli is Mount Carmel, linked in the Bible to the prophet Elijah.
The church of Zabulon and Sosana stands a few steps away, and the Karmeli monastery itself is higher up the slope. The area lies east of Khashuri, in the wooded hills above the valleys.
Modest clothing is appropriate in the monastery, and women may want a headscarf. Photography and attending services are best agreed with the residents.
