Sheki Tour
Silk Road Sheki in one long day: the Khan’s Palace and its stained glass, the caravanserai, piti for lunch and a halva and tea tasting.
- 13–14 hours
- 300 km from Baku
- 1–4 guests, private
- Hotel pickup included
Sheki is about 300 km from Baku (4.5–5 hours each way), so this is a full and rewarding day. We stop at Shamakhi’s Juma Mosque on the way, then spend the afternoon in Sheki: the Khan’s Palace with its stained-glass windows, the caravanserai, the bazaar, and the local specialties — piti stew, Sheki halva, tea and sweets.
