Sheki｜An ancient town forgotten by the world

Sheki is a small town with a 2,000-year history in Azerbaijan. It was once a stopover on the Silk Road. Now it is used by many people as a transit point to Georgia. If you are lucky enough to come to this town, I hope you don't leave in a hurry.

The small town of Sheki seems to be unaffected by the fast pace of modern times. Everything here is so slow. Walking into this town, you will feel like traveling back to the movie world of the last century.

Moreover, the people here are very friendly. Everyone will greet you warmly when they see you. Maybe this is the charm of a small place. There are not too many conflicts of interest, but more friendship between people.
