Jewel of the Silk Road: A Private Journey to Sheki

Written by Leyla A.

Located on the ancient Silk Road, Sheki is a city of artisans, sweets, and breathtaking architecture. The crown jewel is the Sheki Khan’s Palace, famous for its shebeke windows—stained glass held together without a single nail or glue.

Culture & Comfort

Your private chauffeur will navigate the scenic drive through the mountains. Upon arrival, enjoy a reserved lunch at a traditional restaurant serving the famous Sheki Piti. We also arrange a private demonstration with local master craftsmen, showing you the secrets of kelagayi (silk scarf) making that have been passed down for generations.
