Lankaran Landmarks, Plantations and Lerik Discovery
Meet your Azerbaijani guide at the agreed-upon location and begin the tour.
Visit the Khan House in the centre of Lankaran. The Khan House is a combination of Azerbaijani and European traditional architectural features. It now functions as the History and Ethnography Museum.
Proceed to the Circular Castle, built in 1747 for the defence of the city. After the occupation of the region by Russians in the 19th century, the fortress turned into a dungeon and prison until 1970.
Continue to the popular lemon plantations in Lankaran and watch, or even try, how to pick them.
Proceed to the tea plantation and factory, learn how tea is picked, and taste this delicious tea.
Continue with the tour of the city of Lerik. It is known for myths of human longevity; a man named Shirali Baba Muslimov, born in the village of Barzavu, was reported by the Guinness Book of Records to have been 168 years old when he died.
Explore the Museum of Longevity. The exhibits include portraits of centenarians, a number of items associated with them, books, and more.
