Step into the fairytale world of Sheki – a day trip filled with colors, culture, and timeless traditions.

Escape the bustle of Baku and travel through misty mountains, forested hills, and ancient trade routes to one of Azerbaijan’s most enchanting towns. Sheki is a masterpiece of Caucasian charm — with its 18th-century Khan’s Palace covered in intricate stained glass mosaics, artisan workshops where you’ll watch silk and "shebeke" come to life, and cobblestone streets echoing with stories of merchants and poets.

Along the way, enjoy a rustic village breakfast in Shamakhi and traditional tea in the peaceful Ismailli forest. Savor the legendary Sheki halva and a rich clay-pot dish called "piti" that tastes like history itself.

This is more than a tour — it’s a soulful journey into the heart of Azerbaijan, where every stop reveals a new wonder. Book now to discover a place that’s as warm and welcoming as it is unforgettable.

What To Expect

Shamakhi

We begin the morning in the ancient city of Shamakhi, where you'll enjoy a traditional Azerbaijani breakfast in true countryside style. Expect eggs with tomatoes (a local favorite cooked over an open flame), freshly baked tandoor bread, cheese, honey, butter, cream, and piping hot tea. Simple, soulful, and deeply authentic.

Ismailly

En route to Sheki, we’ll stop at a forest restaurant in Ismayilli, where you'll be treated to tea and the local sweet “Three Ears.” Surrounded by nature’s sounds, mountains, and trees, you’ll enjoy a moment of perfect harmony — this is how the real Caucasus smells and feels.
