[1] The Vere river valley from Tbilisi to the townlet of Manglisi is populated by a continuous chain of settlements such as Bagebi, Akhaldaba, Tskneti, Betania and Tsveri.

[2] A portion of the Vere river in Tbilisi flows in a set of corrugated steel tunnels under the Varaziskhevi–Tamarashvili Street motorway constructed from 2009 to 2010.

[1] It is characterized by periodic flash floods[1] such as one in June 2015 which inflicted severe damage on the city's infrastructure, including its zoo, and resulted in at least 20 fatalities.

[4][5][6] The Vere, as explained by the early 18th-century Georgian scholar Prince Vakhushti,[7] was formerly known as the Skvireti or Skoreti (სკვირეთი, სკორეთი).

The Vere river valley is home to several cultural landmarks; the 12th-century Betania Monastery is located near the sources of the river,[1] while the Lurji Monastery,[8] Tbilisi Zoo, and the children's recreational park Mziuri, are close to the mouth, in Tbilisi.
