Shenaqo Tusheti

Shenaqo, a few kilometres east of Omalo, is one of the prettiest villages in Tusheti, with houses of stone, slate and rickety wooden balconies grouped below one of Tusheti’s very few churches. The village is also famous as one of the main locations in the Soviet film Mimino, a charming 1977 comedy about a Georgian bush pilot serving these remote communities.
