While direct public transport options may be limited, you can take a marshrutka (minibus) from Vardzia to the nearest town, Tsinarekhi. The marshrutka departs from the main road near Vardzia. Once you arrive in Tsinarekhi, you can either walk (approximately 3 km) or hire a taxi to reach Kvatakhevi Monastery Complex. Make sure to check the marshrutka schedule in advance as they may not run frequently.
