The weather was a bit hot but bearable. There were four types of fruits available: apples, grapes, plums, and figs. The entrance fee was 10 manat. You’re allowed to eat as much fruit as you want, but only what you pick directly from the trees — taking any fruit with you costs extra. There were also some birds around, and you could ask the staff to direct you to the different fruit tree areas. Overall, it was a very pleasurable experience.

My family and I absolutely loved this place! There were loads of fruits that you could pick and eat as much as you want which was a very nice experience. They also had some animals and a lovely cafe that you can enjoy a cup of coffee or tea in. A must if you're going to Sheki.

Very beautiful garden...well maintained..We can eat fruits directly plucked from the plants and the farm is organized very nicely. There are also different pets from multiple regions....we can feed them as well... They have colorful pigeons that is not original colors but looks very nice ....the staff is very nice and cooperative...must visit place..

"Such a vibrant and beautiful botanical garden! Filled with a variety of fruits and vegetables — a perfect spot to relax, explore, and enjoy nature. Totally worth the visit!"

Bio Garden is hands down one of the best places to visit in Sheki! From the moment you enter, you’re welcomed with friendly smiles and a peaceful atmosphere. Everyone there is kind and happy to help, making the experience feel very personal and enjoyable. The place is super clean and full of fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers, and greenery. Depending on the season, you can pick and eat as many fruits and vegetables as you like — all fresh and straight from the garden! We also loved seeing the animals around the garden — dogs, ducks, pigeons, and even fish. It’s a great place for both kids and adults to connect with nature. A special thank you to a young boy named Ali who guided us around and shared information about the park. If you visit, I definitely recommend asking them for a short tour — it really adds to the experience. Whether you’re a nature lover, a foodie, or just looking for a peaceful place to relax, Bio Garden is the perfect choice in Sheki.

Visited Mid July, no good fruits ( only plums, apple not ready, blackberry sour not ready) they had painted pigeons with colours. They said they had animals to see(where?) The people are not willing to guide. Not worth 10azn pp

Nothing to do with.. not worthy of the money or the time. Painted the pigeons in colors! They said eat fruits as much as you want and I didn’t find any fruits there

Nice view of the sunset. There's a cafe, would make for a nice spot for evening tea/coffee. A quick 5/10 min walk from the main road.

Rundown Dirty Place. Not worth the visit. Only the view over Sheki is ok

Good coffee, cool café, personally I didn't find the server to be very welcoming... but maybe it was a language thing. Anyway I went two days in a row so it must've been good!

One of the best places to Visit in Sheki so quiet Chill place just for a good cup of coffe

Great coffee shop! The espresso is excellent. The atmosphere is cozy. Nice decoration, comfortable seats. Outdoor seats as well.

Best coffee and cosiest place in town. The owner/barista is really friendly. They have tea with traditional sweets, iced/cold espresso based coffees, homemade limonades, ice tea etc. The place is small but usually not crowded. There is also an outside table, which is a nice spot to sit and watch passersby.

The employee's morals don’t excuse the place. The coffee tastes burnt, but the atmosphere of the place is wonderful.

A very cozy cafe with friendly barista 🥹 located in Sheki old city, just by the Karavanserai. The place is so aesthetic and has very affordable and tasty coffee and chocolate ☕️for any season (hot and cold). There are also books 📚 for you to read to pass time. I was in Sheki for a day but went there twice. So beautiful 😍 Also be prepared to pay in cash not card.

Great coffee, great location. Definitely worth going here if you miss good espresso coffee.

Amazing value for money. Big portions, great tasty food. Even the bread tasted amazing. The dolmas and kinkhali tasted amazing and so did everything else. Thoroughly recommend it and the it is not expensive at all. There is a menu in English too.

Fantastic food! I went here a couple times and tried Piti, qutabs, kebab, kharcho, kuku and also the bread was very good. Service is fast and the view from the terrace is nice

Very delicious food. Great atmosphere with beautiful view. Best Piti ever 🌟

Despite the name “Gagarin,” there’s little connection to the famous Soviet cosmonaut—aside from a small sign at the entrance. That said, the food is tasty and reasonably priced. The outdoor seating area offers a lovely view of the mountains, making it a pleasant spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Everything would have been great if not for the excessive wait times. It took a very long time for our food to arrive, and even longer to get the check. So while the atmosphere and food are good, I’d only recommend this place if you’re not in a hurry and have time to spare.

If you are coming to Shaki city (Şəki), visit here and eat the meal specific for this city. The name of meal is Piti. Other meals are also good.

A great find, tried 2 qutabs (one herb, one cheese), the lentil soup and the piti. We have been travelling for 4 months and we think the piti might be the best dish we have had on our trip, a must visit! Also has a stunning view over Sheki

It is one of the most well-known restaurants in Sheki, offering an excellent view of the city. The service was fast, and the prices were reasonable. We tried the piti, meat qutab, and lule kebab — all were quite fatty. While piti is traditionally rich, the others could have been lighter. The pomegranate and quince compote, however, was outstanding. Unfortunately, the restrooms were not clean and need better maintenance

Such a wonderful place that takes you back in time, showing how the old inns and caravanserais once were. A true journey into history and culture 🏛️✨

A silk route holding station for the Marchants. Dedicated spaces to store their items can be seen in the photos as under ground floors... This is one of the the resting and selling area in silk route, so important place in the history... Authority has converted the first floor to a Hotel but the ground and basement can be utilized much better way... Hotel room reservation is only at reception, no online services...30 - 50 Manat per night Only 1 Cafe available in ground floor . After few meters in the same road there Is another similar spot named lower caravanserai. Entry is free for the ground floor , bit to first floor only for the hotel residents.

Walking around was nice. The place also functions as a hotel. You are not allowed to go to the 2nd floor as it's meant for the hotel guests. Plenty of nice souvenir shops around.

It was featured in Joanna Lumley's Silk Road Adventure. The building itself is quite historic and you can stay there (second floor). But for a visit it was just OK to be inside a historical place.

We stayed here for 1 night. The staff was very friendly and helpful, they let us check in early in the morning because we were tired after a night train from Baku. The furniture is old but the room was comfortable.

Very informative place gives one an idea of the times of the Silk route. Wonderful architecture and gardens.

Very charming and historical place

I booked the hotel looking at the beautiful pictures of the views form this hotel, shared on various review sites. But I had a not so great experience. Despite being a family of 3, we were given a tiny room. The room itself was beautiful but the bathroom could use some repairs. The bathtub was leaking water and I slipped on the wet floor and hurt my foot. In addition to that, The wash basin splatters water, making the floor a wet mess. I am just happy kid was not hurt. We also had to call for a change of linens as we saw some food stains on the bed covers. All in all quite disappointing. Just skip staying here, rather check out the attached restaurant for some phenomenal views and call it a day.

~ The location is good close to many attractions. ~ The staff are very friendly and polite ~ The rooms are basic and have most of what you need. ~ The lights need to be reconsidered. A very strong LED light in bedrooms is not the most comfortable and the side light almost so weak that cannot be used for reading so either a very strong light or very weak. ~ The view is very good ~ The AC works perfectly during the hot days ~ The fridge also was working unlike other hotel working but not cooling this one was working well ~ The cleaners did a perfect job

Good location and view from the hotel is beautiful. Rooms and washroom were near and clean. It's not basically a hotel but a family run guest house and the landlady is the focal person there. She served homemade delicious breakfast including boiled eggs, homemade berries jam, peach jam and cheese. Also provided butter and bread. The tea (without milk) was excellent and was very aromatic. Though you might need to insist for the AC if you are there during hot weather.

This is a very lovely place to stay because the Hotel has lots of amenities including indoor pool, spa, fitness center, and complimentary Wi-Fi. It also includes a pretty good restaurant. The atmosphere is really nice because of the blend of traditional architecture. It is very well located being only 50 m from the actual palace. However, probably the thing we enjoyed the most was an early morning walk around the Hotel and surrounding streets & stone walls which really gave us a nice feel for Sheki. I would highly recommend going for a walk as well as enjoying the facilities at the hotel. I have included some photos of what the surrounding area is like.

It was just OK. Our first room reaked of cigarettes so we asked to change, they gave us an attic room which was bigger but the shower was a bathtub under the slanted roof (so we had to either sit or squat in the bathtub and try not to slip) whenever we wanted to shower. There was also no shower curtain. Breakfast was OK but completely packed. We were still eating food and drinking our coffee when the waiter came and asked us to leave to make room for other ppl.

Everything’s great but this sign which simply allows the hotel’s staff to steal whatever they want… The stay was good but how can I feel safe here?

This is no where a 4 star hotel. The rooms are small, the wifi is from 15 years back. You won’t be able to do much with the speed you will get and the loss of connection again and again. No lift for 4th floor so make sure you don’t get a room on that floor. Overall it is not near to the price being charged. I would say a big NO to this place.

A beautiful spot the lovely little church with a small interesting archaeological display, but beautiful roses in the garden

I took bus number 15 from Sheki. It's a very cute church, but the entrance fee is a bit high at 9AZN. I've only seen it from the outside, but the surrounding scenery is beautiful, so it's definitely worth visiting!

A must visit when visiting Sheki. Its just 15 minutes from the center or take a taxi, there are plenty waiting at either end. Its an Albanian Caucasian church, one of just a few in the area and its well preserved. Its definitely worth the 9 manat entry. There is a gift shop in the church area and behind is also a small bazaar and a restaurant with some great local drinks. Definitely dont miss coming here.

A visit to Shaki wouldn’t be complete without seeing this historic landmark. For more details, you can use the guide service. The lady working here will share fascinating historical insights with great enthusiasm. It’s truly interesting and definitely worth a visit!

Nestled amidst a peaceful village setting, the church offers a tranquil atmosphere. The surrounding gardens enhance the serenity, making it a perfect spot for quiet contemplation. The church is very small and will only take you a few minutes to visit, however they have clearly attempted to make it as interesting as possible so I would say it is worth a visit.

A historical church in Kish Village near Sheki. We went there by a local bus from Sheki by paying 60 qapik. People were very friendly in the bus and helped us get down to the right spot for the temple. The surrounding area of the temple is beautiful. you can visit the river nearby and the mountain view is amazing. 1 star is less because of the entrance fee to the temple. They should not charge more than 5 Mannat for foreigners.

The Temple is one of the must visit places of Sheki. It is not a huge but you can feel the age and history when you enter to the temple. It will take an hour to see all the artifacts in detail. The entrance ticket is also cheap. In overall nice place to visit.

Very interesting and authentic place

Very beautiful garden and interesting small museum. Almost at the very end of the city but worth going there.

Such an unexpected gem of a museum, principally due to the lovely hospitality we received from Mr Elshan. Well worth checking out

Very good place to visit excellent Seans

Most interesting place

Perfect place

Mr Elshan is extremely hospitable and friendly! I really enjoyed my time in this amazing place, with these wonderful people. Totally recommend!

(Translated by Google) The house museum of our great poet. Unfortunately, there are few visitors to the area. It has a beautiful courtyard. Memories of the poet are collected in this house. The employees in the area were hospitable and kind. When we saw a table and chairs in the yard, we thought there was a tea service :) We asked, but they said that there was no such service, but they would invite us to tea. Thank you 🙂🌹 (Original) Dahi şairimizin ev muzeyi. Təəssüfki əraziyə ziyarətçi az gəlir. Gözəl həyəti var. Şairə aid xatirələr bu evdə toplanıb. Ərazidəki işçilər qonaqpərvər və mehribandılar. Həyətdə stol stulu görüb elə bildik çay xidməti var :) İstədik belə bir xidmətin olmadığını amma bizi çaya qonaq edəcəklərini bidirdilər. Sağolsunlar 🙂🌹

For me it was a waste of time and money. People who like historical stuff may enjoy. Don’t get me wrong it was a good looking palace. But only to see this travelling from Baku is not just worth it. Go to gabala and Shahdag.

Amazing historical place but found it a bit small.

Well maintained historical place.

(Translated by Google) Be sure to visit! Shebeke is a work of art, a national treasure! Ask Tofik Rasulov - he is the hereditary master, and his family took part in the restoration of the Khan's palace complex. From the summer of 24, master classes will begin to be held in the workshop (Original) Обязательно посетите! Шебеке - произведение искусства, национальное достояние! Спросите Тофика Расулова - именно он является потомственным мастером, и его семья принимала участие в восстановлении комплекса ханского дворца.

The fortress is circa 15-18min drive from Sheki city centre. Last ~1.5km of the road is off road. There is small parking at the end of the off road road and also there is small restaurant to rest and have some tea, etc. Once road finishes you need to hike for 400-500m to fortress. But then difficult part starts once you reach the fortress. Its very steep to climb to fortress. Do not reccomend for elderly people and families with small kids. Its even very difficult to climb down the fortress. However, its worth the view. The view from the top of the fortress is amazing. Please allow 30-40mins if you plan to climb up the fortress.

Nice & beautiful place. Nice hiking place for beginners.

Took a taxi from Kis (7 manat) to a small restaurant/guest house at the end of the road near the fort. It's just a 10-15 min quite steep hike from there. View is nice but not spectacular. The fort is very run down and thus it is a bit hard to imagine it how it used to be. But still it was worth it.

The view from the fort makes the hike worth it. Amazing views for a long way, the last section of the hike is quite steep but manageable. Using a good map is recommended

Very interesting place for visit. There is a beautiful view of the mountains.

It's about a 15 min upward hike to the ruins. The hike is steep so wear proper hiking boots. The trail is clear and easy to follow. Do not bring kids, it's dangerous. It is an isolated spot so you'll likely have the ruins to yourself when you go. There are great views especially from the top of the castle.

Park your car next to the guest house and then hike up towards the castle. Make sure to follow the small sign board which is easy to pass by and it will lead you to a path towards the castle wall. Special needs people need to be aware that its doable but difficult so be careful and have fun!

You sure get a good impression walking into the lobby with the white grand piano in the center. The proprietor insisted that all the rooms were the same size but that's just not the case. The first room they gave me had something blocking the window so I asked to switch to a room with a view and the two alternate rooms I was shown were smaller. Like a three-star rating implies, it was okay, but with a superior breakfast. They offer a big indoor pool with just the right water temperature but I didn't swim.

The room is okay, the breakfast is alright, nothing to crazy though. The service is good and kind, so no problems whatsoever. But the "& Spa" is just a joke. One tiny little sauna that is not really hot. No relax area at all. Showers are super basic. The gym is half broken. Only some dumbbells and one barbell work. Opens all only after 5pm....

Unfortunately, our stay was very disappointing. The room smelt like body odour, and was clearly in desperate need of some TLC. The "gym" was dirty, with most of the equipment either broken or rusting, and no air-conditioning. The pool, which we had hoped to enjoy, was completely overrun with school groups and locals, making it impossible to use. Overall, the property fell well below expectations and we would not return.

Poorly maintained hotel , not that clean. Rooms are very small , location is also quite poor and claustrophobic . Staff is not professional, they forgot to collect charges for spa at the time of check out, and then sent a guy on taxi to collect bill. And charged the taxi fare from me. Breakfast is okay.

this is supposed to be a four star hotel. 1. the shower is very small with a flimsy curtain so the floor/toilet becomes wet and slippery. the shower head direction can't be adjusted so it either goes horizontally toward the shower curtain or the wall. 2. the staff didn't clean our room and lied about until I showed them the room was not tidy at all. we ran out of toilet paper. 3. the receptionist didn't speak any English. 4. when we checked in, they said there is massage service until midnight every day, but when we checked around 9pm, they said the masseuse hasn't been coming at all. 5. it's not close to town at all. you either have to walk 25 min or take a cab. 6. my roommate asked the reception to call a taxi for her and was told that she can just join their cab since they were leaving work anyway. turned out it was just their dad picking them up from work but they charged her anyway, at an even higher rate than regular taxi.

Good hotel in Sheki . there is private underground parking place. Very good location. Near the hotel there is a book house that manahing by young intellectuel people - SOFİ book house . recommend to visit

Cosy bed, clean washroom, nice sauna and pool and most of all good price.
