• Shamakhi - Start the day in the historic city of Shamakhi, where a traditional Azerbaijani breakfast awaits in a charming countryside setting. Delight in eggs with tomatoes (a local specialty cooked over an open flame), freshly baked tandoor bread, cheese, honey, butter, cream, and steaming hot tea. It’s a simple, soulful, and genuinely authentic experience.
• Ismailly - On the way to Sheki, stop at a forest restaurant in Ismayilli for tea and the local delicacy “Three Ears.” Surrounded by the sounds of nature, mountains, and trees, enjoy a moment of perfect harmony — this is the true essence of the Caucasus.
• Sheki Khan’s Palace - Upon reaching Sheki, visit the city’s crown jewel — the 18th-century Palace of the Sheki Khans. The walls are adorned with intricate murals, wood carvings, and the iconic shebeke stained glass windows — crafted without a single nail or drop of glue.
• Abad Ceramics And Applied Art Center - Next, explore ABAD, a local arts and crafts center. Observe potters, painters, and artisans at work — a living museum where heritage and creativity flourish in everyday life.
• Shebeke Workshop - Get an exclusive look at the creation of shebeke stained glass — a meticulous process of hand-inserting colored glass into wooden latticework without adhesives. This ancient skill is a cherished Sheki tradition passed down through generations.
• Sheki’s craft shops - Explore craft workshops offering unique handmade souvenirs: silk products, ceramics, wood carvings, and more. These are not just gifts — they’re pieces of the region’s cultural essence.
• Sheki - Stroll through the narrow cobbled streets of the Yukhari Bash architectural reserve. Time seems to stand still here — homes, lanterns, and alleyways preserve the spirit of Sheki’s merchant past.
• Sheki Karvansaray - Descend from the old town to the historic caravanserai, once a bustling hub for traders and travelers on the Great Silk Road. Step inside and imagine the lively commerce and aroma of pilaf simmering in ancient pots.
• Sheki - Visit artisan shops within old merchant houses, where you can purchase handmade goods — and most importantly, taste the legendary Sheki halva, made using a centuries-old recipe in traditional copper cauldrons.
• Sheki - Enjoy a panoramic view of Sheki from the hilltop Highland Park, which also houses the World War II Memorial. This is a place where nature, memory, and silence converge.
• Sheki - For lunch, savor Sheki’s iconic dish: Piti — a hearty stew of lamb, chickpeas, and spices slow-cooked in a clay pot. Rich, aromatic, and full of the spirit of old Sheki.
• Church of Kish - The final stop on the journey is the village of Kish, home to one of the oldest Christian temples in the Caucasus. This sacred site — believed to be the first Christian church in the region — is nestled in the mountains and carries the soul of ancient Caucasian Albania.
