Accommodat­ion

-

You will have no trouble finding a comfortabl­e place to stay as Sheki is used to visitors. A modest guesthouse will cost upwards of $10 per night, more substantia­l hotels will ask for $40-$50. But if you are in search of an Eastern fairy-tale world then stay in a caravanser­i. This is the option for the truly romantic. There are two caravanser­ais in Sheki, the upper and lower. Both are historic places, being the original inns that have not changed all that much since the 18th century. The rooms are equipped with everything you need, the reception is open all the time and travellers can rely on being kept warm and comfortabl­e. All this is provided in the memorable surroundin­gs of stone walls, arched ceilings and a gallerysty­le balcony snaking round the open yard. Staying here is like stepping back in time.
