Sheki, Azerbaijan — a Silk Road caravanserai town in the Caucasus foothills, famous for the Khan's Palace and its dazzling stained-glass shebeke windows built without glue or nails.
The 18th-century Khan's Palace interior is covered floor to ceiling in murals and shebeke lattice windows — go slow, the detail rewards it. Stay in a converted 18th-century caravanserai, and try halva and Sheki-style plov, the town's culinary specialties.
