DeepFreeze63 Posted October 27, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 27, 2023 We are booked on Grandeur from Athens to Barcelona in August 2024 and signed up for "Silk Road to Baku". Started having second thoughts about this pre-cruise excursion early this year with trouble in Armenian province but mainly concerned about plane flights. Will make a decision after I see the available flights in January, 210 days prior to embarkation Otherwise, would love to visit Azerbaijan and excursion looks to be well crafted.

Rare Gilly Posted October 27, 2023 #3 Share Posted October 27, 2023 The idea of that pre-cruise tour being offered on a Mediterranean itinerary comes as a surprise because Azerbaijan is a fair few miles from any of those ports! But yes, go for it! We were in Baku in 1987 (!) and would love to return, for the city has undergone so many changes since then. But we recall a city in a spectacular location on the Caspian Sea, stunning architecture, warm hearted people and fascinating places to explore. What a wonderful opportunity to see somewhere a bit out of the ordinary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
