Imagine pure, crystal-clear water cascading down from the great Caucasus Mountains, winding its way through the lavish land in the foothills of the valley and suffusing the sun-bathed vines. These ripe, abundant grapes are then collected and handled with care and love before being transformed by the apparent magic of a master into wine. This is what happens every year at the vineyards of ASPI AGRO

I love tasting different wines and therefore have always dreamed of visiting a winery.This one is not big one but really worth a visit.They let us go inside to their production area and have explained us about their production,operation and how they carried out their marketing.They do sell across Europe and their production is less compared to the market demand. They took us to the cellar where they have arranged for wine tasting.They gave us Red,white and Rose wines with different tastes. The experience was altogether awesome.The environment is totally family and kids friendly.

So much has already been said about this palace that it is unlikely people would still come to Sheki without visiting it. And a truly spectacular sight it is. The beauty of the interior wall and ceiling paintings is breathtaking. There is so much to take in that, given the prohibition to take pictures, I wished there was a nice illustrated book available about this and the Winter Palace. There must be one on print, but I couldn't find any on sale on site. If you can get hold of one, even better before your visit, don't miss the opportunity to arrive there prepared for the wonderful sight that awaits you. Sheki has a lot to offer, but if you are short of time, the Sheki Khan's Palace in itself is worth the trip.

Amazing place to visit - just when you think you can’t take another nutsy driver, cobblestone, or pothole - here’s this church, possibly the oldest in the world, in the center of a little town with a Thor Heyerdahl bust. Who knew. Had a marvelous tour with an English teacher - she made my day. Would recommend this after the so-so Sheki experience.

We visited the archeological site which is different from the Museum, there were signs on the road when we got near ( our guide didnt know where it was but we used google maps amd was able to find it), a guide met us near the entrance and asked for 3 manat per adults for a tour and one Manat for the car, he spoke good English and was very knowledgeable. He road with us in the car up the hill and explained the 2 excavation sites to us and the old wall where the gate used to be. The fist sight was of the old city. You could clearly see rooms and a sewage system, old pots still half stuck in the ground and animal bones. It was truly awesome then he took us to the next sight which was a burial sight it had three layers the deepest was a pre Christianity grave, the second was a Christian grave and the highest layer was a muslim grave. Then he took us to the ancient wall and explained where the gate of the city was, the views from there were amazing and you could imagine what this place looked liked at its time. The guide explained that many of the artifacts displayed in Museums in Baku are from this site and they are still finding more artifacts there till this day. He also told us there is a small Museum in Gabala city that displays the artifacts found at the site but we didnt visit it. Our kids loved seeing real history right in-front of them. Well worth the 7 Manat we spent!

to get into Yeddi Gozel waterfall you need off road vehicle. from road there are vehicle there to take you to near waterfall (they will charge 25manat). you need to walk lot of steps to go to waterfall. Yeddi gozel meaning "seven beautiful" waterfall. Be careful when you walk on steps.
