Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the dynamic-content-for-elementor domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Getting There<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You can get there by bus \u2116216 from \u201cKoroghlu\u201d metro station. Bus stop near the Balakhani village, but you still need to walk at least 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also get there by taxi or private car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Azerbaijan\u2019s historical oil settlement – Balakhani village, which is known as the first oil cent on Absheron peninsula, has today turned into unique open-air art gallery, where houses are painted with colorful images. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today throughout the village you\u2019ll notice little artistic touches, whether it be a row of colorful birdhouses, a sculpture depicting a scene from the famous film “If Not That One, Then This One” (\u201cO olmasin, bu olsun\u201d), or uplifting wall paintings, all of which are the handiwork of local artists. Visitors can admire a 17th-century \u201cShah Safi\u201d caravanserai frequented by traders and travelers in the days of camels and caravans who used Balakhani as a stopover on route to Baku. <\/p>\n\n\n
