Multicultural Gakh in north-west Azerbaijan is scattered with the relics of ancient churches and towers. Enjoy wandering around the charming city centre and discovering some culinary curiosities. Definitely visit the quaint village of Ilisu which was once its very own tiny sultanate, and from there you can hike to photogenic ramparts, amazing viewpoints and spectacular waterfalls.
All of the two-storied houses in the ancient centre of Gakh known as Icheribazar (which dates back to the 15th century) have balconies to allow people to hide from rain, snow and sunshine.
INTERESTING FACT #2Made from chunks of dried meat and ribs, surhullu is one of the region’s signature dishes, especially in mountain villages.
