Sheki, the Silk Road, and the Caucus Mountains
This tour was on my fourth day in Azerbaijan, and my third tour with Guided Azerbaijan - Nurlan was such a great guide that I was happy he took this one too. The day started with hotel pickup and about an hour drive to Juma Mosque. From there we headed north into the Caucus mountains and went to Sheki to see the palace and the caravansarie. Sheki was a very important stop on the Silk Road trade route because the climate of the area is perfect for the growth of mulberry trees, which happen to the perfect home for silk worms. In fact, silk production is still an industry in this area. We stopped in Sheki at the halva shop - and that stuff is phenomenal! I brought back treats for my friends back home and they are still talking about it - it’s just that good. We left Sheki and went to Kish to see the Christian church there. Nurlan once again was fantastic and full of information that really made it come alive for me. It’s lovely and peaceful and nearly unadorned. It’s a museum now and there are relics housed there from its past life. I loved this little spot, it touched my heart. Make no mistake, this is a LONG day. In fact, they offer this as a two day tour and if I’d had the time I’d have stretched it into two days so I could have appreciated it more. Also, as a note to less experienced travelers, the further you get from Baku, the less… luxurious… things become. Bring a few packets of travel Kleenex and be prepared for the squat style toilets. It’s an adventure.

Sheki tour
Sheki was my favourite place in Azerbaijan, I like the green mountains feel so refreshing. Our tour organisers Fuad had great team who can help in exploring more natural beauty and explain the place in detail.

Great tour
Took this tour with our guide Ulkar. She was super insightful and went at our pace. It’s a long drive to Sheki but well worth the drive. Make sure you stop in to the sweet shop in Sheki and get some goodies. Thank you again Ulkar for a great tour
