Shamakhi
Shamakhi is one of Azerbaijan's ancient capitals, about two hours from Baku, and the first stop on the road to Gabala and Sheki.
See the Juma Mosque, one of the oldest in the Caucasus, the Diri Baba Mausoleum built into the rock, and the Shamakhi Astrophysical Observatory in the hills.
Getting there with 4T Transfer
The drive from Baku takes about two hours on a good highway through the hills. A one-way transfer costs from $80 per car (sedan) or $100 (minivan); our Shamakhi tour includes all the stops and lunch time.
Best time to visit
Late spring and early autumn, when the hills are green or golden. September and October are the grape harvest season.
Good to know
Shamakhi is the heart of Azerbaijani wine-making — several wineries offer tastings. The town is also known for its carpets and the Yeddi Gumbaz mausoleums.
