Sno Village & Giant Stone Heads

5–10 min drive (or 1–2 hr hike) to Sno from Stephantsminda, featuring sculptural “Stone Heads” by Merab Piranishvili—homage to Georgian icons—nicknamed Georgia’s “Easter Island”.

Carved from single blocks of granite or quartz, each face is deliberately set into the natural landscape, with chins lifted sky‑wards as though contemplating the heavens.

The heads pay tribute to iconic Georgian figures—Shota Rustaveli, Ilia Chavchavadze, Akaki Tsereteli, Vazha Pshavela, Alexandre Kazbegi, and even Jesus Christ
