Mountains.

There are different advantages of Sheki and one of them as mentioned below are mountains. I will most probably post many photos of mountains in this blog. So bare with me.

They say there are two types of people: the ones that prefer mountains and the ones that prefer seas. There is no sea in Sheki, only mountain rivers, small lakes and waterfalls. I would guess that Sheki people prefer mountains to seas...

Travelling to Sheki

When you start approaching Sheki you realize that your region is truly blessed with amazing nature of proud mountains and rich forests.

Travelling to Sheki

There are 360 kms between Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan and Sheki. Therefore depending on driving it takes between 4.5 to 6 hours to reach Sheki by car. There are three routes that I know that can take one to Sheki and at least two of them are very beautiful in landscape. Here is a photo taken in the forest where we stop for tea on our way to Sheki. (this is a big myth that the English drink tea more than anyone in the world, I am sure that Azerbaijanis drink much more).
