Once a stronghold of the Caucasian Albanians and the mighty Shirvanshahs, Ismayilli’s lush mountains and forests still hide the remnants of centuries-old towers and temples. You’ll also find here the stunning mountain lake of Garanohur, a unique village home to Russian ‘Molokans’ and one of the finest wineries in the country. Plus, you can soak up the spirit of the Silk Road with visits to Lahij and Basgal, mountain villages famous for their copper and kelaghai crafts.
