Azerbaijan is territorially the largest of the Transcaucasian countries, washed in the eastern part by the Caspian Sea. The birthplace and decline of ancient empires, the site of the Great Silk Road and the main "wine cellar" of the Soviet Union - this is how the Republic used to appear in outdated guidebooks. Today it is no longer just the remains of caravanserais and generous vineyards (although there are plenty of them here too), but also excellent balneo-resorts, ski resorts and pretty beaches, where it is so great to laze after a round of national restaurants.
