A southern change of scenery

Lankaran’s old port setting and lighthouse provide a gentle introduction to this part of the country. Follow town time with a meal that explores the region’s distinct cuisine.

Tea country

Tea and citrus are part of the southern landscape. Arrange any plantation visit with a host rather than entering agricultural land without permission.

Forest time needs planning

Hirkan’s forest landscapes call for a separate outing and current local guidance. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed; enjoy the forest for the landscape itself.

Give the day room to unfold

Choose one main outing for each day and leave time for meals and the journey back. Confirm access, transport and any guided arrangements before setting out.
