Grand Caucasus

Your Caucasus journey begins at Baku International Airport, where our representative meets you with a welcome board and assists with a smooth transfer to your hotel for early check-in.

After a short rest and breakfast, we begin exploring Baku — a city where ancient walls, elegant 19th-century streets, and futuristic towers blend into a captivating whole. We walk through the winding alleys of the Old City (Icherisheher) — past caravanserais, medieval mosques, and stone-paved lanes that breathe centuries of history.

You’ll stand before the enigmatic Maiden Tower, admire the courtyard of the Shirvanshahs’ Palace, and feel the rhythm of a city that has welcomed travelers for ages. As the day unfolds, we step into modern Baku — the seaside Boulevard, Flame Towers shimmering above the city, and panoramic views from the upland park.

The evening is yours to enjoy local cuisine.

After breakfast, we leave the coast and head toward the foothills of the Caucasus. Our first stop is the atmospheric Juma Mosque in Shamakhi, one of the oldest and most significant mosques in the region. From here we continue to Ismayilli, where a thrilling experience awaits — the Hanging Bridge, suspended over a deep forested valley. We then continue through mountain roads to Lake Nohur — a serene mirror of turquoise water reflecting the surrounding ridges.

By afternoon, we reach Sheki. After hotel check-in, you’ll have time to wander its charming streets, discover local craft shops, taste Sheki sweets, or relax in the shade of plane trees.

Dinner in a traditional setting rounds off the day.

Today we dive deeper into Sheki, one of the Silk Road’s most atmospheric towns. We begin at the dazzling Sheki Khan’s Palace — a masterpiece of stained glass, woodwork, and frescoes. Its colorful shebeke windows filter the sunlight in patterns that seem almost magical. We walk through the old quarter to the historic Karavansaray, where merchants once gathered with caravans of silk and spices.

Later we drive to Kish village, where the ancient Albanian Church stands — serene, timeless, and surrounded by mountain views. A place where cultures have overlapped for millennia.

Dinner and a peaceful evening complete the day.

After breakfast, we travel toward the Georgian border at Lagodekhi. As we cross into Georgia, the scenery shifts — vineyards, rolling hills, and terracotta-roofed villages introduce you to Kakheti, the country’s wine region. We visit Sighnaghi, the romantic “City of Love,” walking through charming streets with balconies overlooking the Alazani Valley. A short ride brings us to the peaceful Bodbe Monastery, surrounded by cypress trees.

The evening unfolds at a family-owned winery, where homemade dishes and Kakhetian wines create a warm, hospitable atmosphere. We arrive in Tbilisi by nightfall.

Today we explore Tbilisi — a city where every street tells a story. We stroll through Old Tbilisi, passing colorful houses with carved wooden balconies.

We visit historic churches, the Sulfur Baths district, cross the Bridge of Peace, and ride the cable car up to Narikala Fortress, offering sweeping views over the city’s rooftops. The afternoon is free to wander galleries, wine bars, artisan shops, or simply enjoy the gentle buzz of the city.

In the evening, dinner in a local restaurant.

Stop at the 13th-century Orbeliani Caravanserai, a Silk Road monument built on a mountain pass. Visit Noratus Cemetery, home to the largest collection of medieval khachkars (stone crosses). Then we continue to Lake Sevan, the “Blue Pearl of Armenia”, the biggest lake of the Caucasus. We climb the peninsula to visit Sevanavank Monastery, built in the 9th century.

Dinner and relaxing evening by the lake.

Free morning at Lake Sevan and return to Yerevan. Visit Vernissage Market, an open-air bazaar for souvenirs, crafts, carpets, and art. Free time in the city for shopping or coffee in the center. Farewell dinner in Yerevan.

Evening or night transfer to the airport for the departure flight.
