Azerbaijan is the largest country in the Caucasus and variously considered part of Europe or Asia. The country lies on the Caspian Sea.

Through the autonomous exclave of Nakhchivan, which lies between Armenia and Iran, Azerbaijan also shares a short border with Turkey.

Azerbaijan is known for having nine of the 11 defined ecological zones. Much of the country is temperate year-round. Nation-wide the average temperature for the year is 14-15°C (57-59°F). The Caucasus Mountains protect the country from the Arctic air masses that affect Russia in winter while the Caspian Sea shields it from the hot, dry air of Central Asia in the summer.
Cabbage, grape leaves, and eggplant wrapped meat (kelem, yarpaq, badimjan - dolmasi), kabab (kebab), rice with different variety of toppings (plov - It is said that plov is the king of Azerbaijani cuisine), gutabs and meatballs (kufta) are some of the several specialties of Azerbaijan.
Some local drinks include ayran (a yogurt drink based on sour milk) and sherbet (made from rose petals or saffron). There are also different sorts of quite decent wines produced from local grapes and a wide array of mineral waters from natural springs. In some areas of Azerbaijan the markets offer lemonades (limonat/dushes) made from pears or taragon.
There is a good selection of hotels in Baku, including many Western chains, but options elsewhere in the country are limited. Prices for the hotels start from USD60 and higher. Rental apartments might be a good choice as they are cheaper than hotels and sometimes are even more comfortable.

City Museum of Budva (Montenegro)
Enable English subtitle ! - Activați subtitrarea în românește !
The Museum of Budva, arranged in the Old Town in a building with 4 levels dating from the 19th century, tells through the multitude of exhibits the ancient history, but also newer, of the area. The vast majority of the pieces come from the archaeological and reconstruction research of the Old Town, but also from the surroundings, after the devastating earthquake of April 15, 1979. On the ground floor is a Lapidarium containing mainly tomb stones and funerary urns from the Roman necropolis (1th-2nd centuries BC) superimposed over the Hellenistic Greek (4th-2nd centuries BC) one. In addition, there is a superb Roman mosaic found in a Villa Urbana. The exhibits of floors 1 and 2 tell about the ancient history of the Budva starting with the Illyrian dwelling (5th century BC), Greek colonization (4th century BC) and the city's operation with an Acropolis located on the site of the present Citadele. Of the pieces of this period we can notice military equipment dating from the Hellenistic period (5th-3rd centuries BC), especially a magnificent military helmet from the Illyrian-Greek period (early 5th century BC), as well as high-end jewelry from gold and dating from the Hellenistic period (5th-2nd centuries BC). 1st century BC marks the gradual transition to the Roman domination that brings Budva to a flourishing city during the centuries I-II AD. Most of the exhibits (glassware, ceramics, tools, jewelry, utensils) come from the Roman necropolis. The exhibits of the last floor have a predominantly ethnographic character, mirroring the life of the inhabitants of Budva during the 16th-19nd centuries. The pieces, grouped by categories present the urban life (parts and furniture for toilet and living room), the life of the sailors (shipping instruments), the life of the inhabitants of the rural area (occupations, households and objects in the these). One showcase features beautiful traditional costumes from Montenegro, and two others have a historical significance with a flag from First World War and vintage weapons.
Muzeul orașului Budva, amenajat în Orașul Vechi într-o clădire cu 4 nivele datând din secolul XIX, povestește prin mulțimea de exponate istoria străveche, dar și mai nouă, a zonei. Marea majoritate a pieselor provin din cercetările arheologice și de reconstrucție a Orașului Vechi, dar și a împrejurimilor, după devastatorul cutremur din 15 aprilie 1979. La parter este un Lapidarium conținând mai ales pietre de mormânt și urne funerare provenite din necropola romană (secolele I-I e.n.) suprapusă peste cea greacă elenistică (secolele IV-II î.e.n.). În plus, se remarcă un superb mozaic roman găsit într-o ”Villa Urbana”. Exponatele etajelor 1 și 2 povestesc despre istoria antică a Budvei începând cu locuirea ilirică (secolul V î.e.n.), colonizarea greacă (sec. IV î.e.n.) și funcționarea orașului cu o Acropolă situată pe locul actualei Citadele. Dintre piesele acestei perioade remarcăm echipament militar datând din perioada elenistică (sec. V-III î.e.n), mai ales o superbă cască militară din perioada ilirico-greacă (începutul sec. V î.e.n.), precum și bijuterii de mare finețe din aur și datând tot din perioada elenistică (sec. IV-II î.e.n.). Secolul I î.e.n. marchează trecerea treptată la dominația romană care aduce Budva la un oraș înfloritor în perioada secolelor I-II e.n. Majoritatea exponatelor (sticlărie, ceramică, unelte, bijuterii, ustensile) provine din necropola romană. Exponatele ultimului etaj au un caracter preponderent etnografic oglindind viața locuitorilor Bidvei în perioada secolelor XVI-XIX. Piesele, grupate pe categorii prezintă viața urbană (mobilier și piese de toaletă și de cameră de zi), viața marinarilor (instrumente de navigație, machetă de vas, cufere marinărești), viața locuitorilor din mediul rural (îndeletniciri, gospodării rurale și obiectele aflate în acestea). O vitrină prezintă frumoase costume din Muntenegru, iar alte două au caracter istoric adăpostind un steag de luptă din Primul Război Mondial și arme de epocă.

Day 20- full of emotion delivering the flag to the Metropolitan of Nubia, Savvas in Khartoum , Sudan
Our expedition started with a visit to the Greek Orthodox church of the Annunciation in Khartoum ( ) when we noticed that the Greek flag has been torn apart by the winds to shreds. During our expedition we witnessed with our own eyes a community that once numbered 15000 and was financially strong and powerful to have been reduced to just 70 souls. We saw impressive Greek Orthodox churches from North to South depleted from Greeks. We saw abandoned business falling apart (like the impressive hotel Olympia in Port Sudan), we saw old Sudanese speaking Greek because once they were the employees of Greek businessmen, we saw countless Greek signs ,from Khartoum to Atbara to Port Sudan to Kosti, meaning nothing to anyone because the communities have died. Our Embassy in Sudan has closed and reduced to Honorary Consulate ( thanks to the kind offer and unsalaried service of Mr Makis Pagulatos of Acropole Hotel). And we saw Turkey in Port Suakin and elsewhere gaining a strong foothold in Sudan.We surrenndered our brand new expedition flag to our Church in Khartoum and I could not help feeling hurt and becoming tearful by the symbolism for a dying community. May God help Greece and Greeks survive through time. You may see all 290 videos of our expedition at my Playlist SUDAN in my channel. You are welcome to subscribe
