Azerbaijan is our most underrated route — Baku's old town against a skyline of flame-shaped towers, mud volcanoes that genuinely bubble cold mud, and mountain towns most travellers haven't heard of yet.
Six days is enough to cover Baku properly and still get into the Caucasus foothills.
Old City, Maiden Tower, Flame Towers at sunset.
Mud volcanoes and ancient rock petroglyphs, 40 minutes from Baku.
Silk Road old town and a mountain cable car ride.
Caspian boardwalk, last plov dinner, flight out.
"We'd never have thought to visit Azerbaijan without this itinerary — genuinely surprised us."
"Mud volcanoes were the weirdest, most memorable stop of the whole trip."
"Sheki's palace is stunning and almost nobody else was there."
