"Since ancient times, our Russian Parnassus was drawn to unfamiliar camps, and more than anyone else, only you, the Caucasus, rang with a mysterious fog." Not one Sergei Yesenin was inspired to work by the dizzying beauty of the cities of the Caucasus, not one Russian poet and writer has lines in his works that are dedicated to this beautiful region.
An unprecedented alternation of landscapes, mountain rivers, springs and unique vegetation easily conquer the hearts of travelers. Each Caucasian city is so individual and beautiful that one wants to visit everywhere and come back here again.
Baku, Azerbaijan
An amazing, ancient city, in the culture of which oriental hospitality and European foundations are harmoniously combined. In the center of the capital of Azerbaijan, skyscrapers are rapidly stretching to the heavens, showing everyone the modern face of Baku. The old city is replete with narrow streets, madrasahs, mosques and ancient buildings that survived the Mongol yoke with the Ottoman Empire.
The warm maritime climate of the Caspian Sea is perfectly combined with a relaxed mood of relaxation and the eastern rule of not rushing anywhere. The Maiden Tower is considered the pride of Baku, and Primorsky Boulevard, which is dazzling with luxury. Also noteworthy is the Fortress in the Old City, which praises the wisdom of the people who have lived here for centuries. The ancient part of the city is carefully maintained in its original state - merchants of carpets and oriental goods are hospitably inviting to them, and the old paving stones resonate underfoot, leading to the palace of the Shirvanshahs through the main gates of Baku, Gosha-Gala-Gapy.
The modern beautiful city of Baku stretches upwards along the Neftyanikov Avenue. Climbing the funicular to the Nagorny Park, you can see all the secluded corners and the Baku Bay.
Batumi - Adjara
The gentle Black Sea washed ashore a precious pearl, the most beautiful city of Adjara - Batumi. The amazing subtropical climate is ideal for the growth of delicate magnolias, cheerful palms, noble laurels, austere cypresses and other exotics here. It’s hard to believe that among all this beauty the largest port of Georgia is lost, the work of which can be observed from the city embankment.
Local dolphins often glimpse in coastal waters, delighting vacationers. Near the beaches there are city quarters, the houses of which are painted in bright colors, which makes the panorama look like an impressionist painting. It is with great pleasure that you can stroll around Europe Square, which is crowned with a graceful sculpture of Medea and the spray of singing fountains shimmers.
Derbent - Dagestan
At the junction of the Caucasus Mountains and the Caspian Sea, ancient Derbent comfortably settled down, being considered the most ancient city on the territory of Russia. It is almost 5,000 years old! At different times the city was ruled by Sarmatians and Huns, Romans and Scythians, Khazars and Turks. Here in the old days the Great Silk Road twisted. What are only the Naryn-Kala fortress, real khan's baths, Juma mosque, a 70 km long mountain defensive wall and medieval cemeteries!
