Getting there

Car

From the center of Pshavi, head southeast on the main road towards the village of Tsinarekhi. Follow the signs for Mtskheta and Gori. After approximately 15 kilometers, look for a sign indicating the turnoff to Kvatakhevi. Take the left turn and continue for about 5 kilometers until you reach the Kvatakhevi Monastery Complex. There is a small parking area available near the monastery.

Public Transportation

In Pshavi, take a minibus (marshrutka) heading to Mtskheta. These minibuses leave from the main bus station in Pshavi frequently. Once you arrive in Mtskheta, transfer to another marshrutka heading towards Gori. Inform the driver you want to get off at Kvatakhevi. The total journey may take around 1.5 to 2 hours depending on connections. Be prepared to walk the last 1-2 kilometers from the main road to the monastery, as public transport may not go directly to the site.

Walking

If you are staying in a nearby village or if you prefer walking, you can hike from Tsinarekhi. The path is well-trodden and offers beautiful views of the surrounding nature. Starting from Tsinarekhi, follow the path up the hill for approximately 3 kilometers, which will lead you directly to the Kvatakhevi Monastery. Ensure you wear suitable footwear and bring water, especially during warmer months.
