Yevlakh

Yevlax

Half a day is enough: walk the Kura embankment, see the railway station, then move on to Ganja or Sheki.

Yevlakh is a small transport hub on the Kura River in the Ganja Region. It has a few parks and a riverside promenade but no major sights. Most travellers use it as a stop between Baku and Sheki or Ganja. A half-day break is enough to stretch your legs.
