Description

Surrounded by lush Caucasian countryside in the north-west, Azerbaijan’s latest UNESCO World Heritage site is waiting to be discovered! Spend an afternoon quietly wandering Silk Road-inspired streets, admiring Sheki’s signature gabled-roof architecture and intricate brickwork, reflecting this city’s past as a major trade and crafts hub. Call in at mosques and museums, caravanserais and palaces, and sample a type of baklava unique to this part of the Caucasus.
