If you are traveling by car, start from the center of Pshavi. Head to the south on the main road, following signs towards Zedazeni. Continue on this road for approximately 20 kilometers.

Public Transportation (Minibus)

To reach Zedazeni Monastery via public transport, start by taking a minibus from the main bus station in Pshavi. Look for a minibus heading towards Mtskheta or Tbilisi, as these often pass close to Zedazeni. The fare is usually around 2-3 GEL (Georgian Lari). After about 45 minutes, ask the driver to drop you off at the nearest stop for Zedazeni Monastery. From there, it will be a short 10-minute walk along Zedazeni Rd to the monastery. Be sure to check the minibus schedule for return trips, as they can be infrequent.
