7 days in Sheki Itinerary

Sheki is Azerbaijan’s true travel gem, a small city off the forested slopes of the Greater Caucasus Mountains rich in Silk Road history and renowned for its fascinating architecture, food, and friendly residents.

You'll discover tucked-away gems like Museum of Folk and Applied Arts and Savalan ASPI Winery. Venture out of the city with trips to Ivanovka Village (in Ismayilli), Gabala (Gabala City Mosque, Tufandag Winter Summer Resort, &more) and Ganja (Heydar Aliyev Park & Imamzadeh Mausoleum). There's much more to do: take in the architecture and atmosphere at Church of Kish, get engrossed in the history at Sheki Khans' Palace, don't miss a visit to Sheki Fortress, and take in the dramatic scenery at Ilisu Waterfall.
