It was the perfect introduction to the dramatic landscapes that make the Faroe Islands so unforgettable.

Nestled at the foot of the Greater Caucasus, Sheki offered two days of cobbled streets, historic palaces, and local crafts. From the glowing stained-glass windows of the Sheki Khans’ Palace to quiet mountain views, the town revealed a peaceful, timeless side of Azerbaijan.
Baku’s windswept shoreline, the quiet alleys of the Old City and the snowy foothills around Sheki came together in a journey that revealed the many sides of Azerbaijan. From modern landmarks to historic caravanserais, the country offered a blend of culture, scenery and winter atmosphere that felt both distinctive and welcoming.
Travelling from the shores of the Caspian to the snowy Caucasus, a week in Azerbaijan offered a glimpse of a country balancing modern ambition with deep-rooted tradition. For a Maltese visitor, it proved both unfamiliar and oddly relatable — a land where fire still burns from the ground, tea is shared with strangers, and the road between Baku and Sheki feels like a journey across worlds.
