Not a flag-waving tour. Quiet, local, the right length. Mardakan still feels like a town people live in.
Old Absheron
Mehriban walks old Mardakan — settlement, fortifications, peninsula history — then toward Gala and the fire landscape. Not primarily a beach day. Return for courtyard dinner. Swim in the morning if you want the sea.

Better than arriving alone and guessing opening hours. Tickets, order of rooms, where to stand for the light — Mehriban had it.

Mehriban knows the streets and does not pad the walk with filler. Old Absheron — you see the rooms, the stones, the town around them.

Small group, no loud vest. You can still hear the courtyard. I would add this to a stay in the same town again.

I had read the usual pages online. Being there with Mehriban made the sequence make sense. Old Absheron is worth the ticket.

Went with family. Pace was human. Mehriban answered questions without a microphone. We had time for tea after.
