About Lankaran
Azerbaijan's subtropical south — Caspian beaches, tea plantations, Hirkan National Park with leopards, thermal springs, and a slower pace of life near the Iranian border.
Lankaran is Azerbaijan's subtropical gateway in the far south, near the Iranian border. The region enjoys a humid subtropical climate with lush vegetation, tea and citrus plantations, and the unique Hirkan National Park — home to the endangered Caucasian leopard and ancient ironwood forests. Caspian beaches are cleaner and quieter than Baku's. The local cuisine features excellent fish and citrus-based dishes. Thermal springs and traditional hammams add a wellness dimension. It's off the tourist trail but rewarding for nature lovers.
