“The mud volcanoes where a little underwhelming, but the ride up with the "Lada Rally Club" was an experience. The mosque is stunning and Yanardag was more interesting that I expected. Would have been nice to have some time to go inside the Heydar Cultural Center, but I would not have wanted to start the tour earlier to be able to make it there in time. The lunch place was delightful.”
