About the region
Sheki is a historic town in the north-west of Azerbaijan, at the foot of the Greater Caucasus. Its old town grew around the Palace of the Sheki Khans, known for its painted halls and stained-glass windows, and around the caravanserais of the silk road. Groups come for the palace, the craft workshops and the local halva, and often stay overnight in the caravanserai. The route from Baku passes Shamakhi, and Gabala is an easy drive away, so Sheki combines well with both.
