Introducing Lәnkәran

The biggest town in southern Azerbaijan, sleepy Lənkəran (Lenkoran) is famous for tea and abundant flowers. It has a certain docile charm and sections of seafront have some half-hearted charm, though hiding submerged Soviet detritus.

The town’s heart and social centre stretches from beautifully manicured Dosa Park to the vaguely quaint train station around which half the town’s male population seems to while away their evenings in open-air beer and tea gardens.
