Getting to the church is now much easier — the main road is fully paved, so driving there is no problem. Then from the main road, you follow a road for about 600 m by car (also kind of paved) , then continue on foot for the final 400 m uphill.

There are still no gates, ticket booths, or visitor facilities at the fortress. The church seems like it’s always open, so you can visit at any time of day. With its blue-tiled roof and the picturesque remains of an old stone wall behind it, the little church has a certain charm. Inside, there’s not much decoration, but the layout is a bit unusual, and several narrow windows let in slivers of light. The surrounding area feels rather neglected, adding a slightly melancholic atmosphere To the place. While it’s a pleasant stop for those nearby, it’s doubtful the site will ever make it onto the World Heritage List.

Be aware that getting to this place is not easy. The rental company will most likely already forbid you to drive on the unpaved 843 road anyway but if you are like me and defy them then make sure you have a 4WD. Also if you look at the map you will see a "shortcut" which is even advised by Google navi... DON'T. This is just a collection of large boulders forming a downhill sort of path. You will damage the car for sure. In fact there are a lot of these "shortcuts" not marked on google you would never think about taking but apparently this one got added to the map at one point. Drive along the normal 843 gravel route towards the driveway leading to Kvetera Fortress. Got a 4WD? Then you can actually drive all the way up this narrow road. If not then I doubt you will make it and, again, like me, have to reverse down and park it along the grassy patches. Walking up the rest doesn't take too long and I would have done earlier knowing the issues up ahead. Anyhow, so you FINALLY made it up there, yay!

The fortress is basically just a collection of walls now. There is one building left standing without a roof. The main attraction is the tiny cute church though. The roof is well maintained and even from the outside it looks adorable. The listing is trying to get it inscribed for the architecture but I …
