Armenia, Georgia & Azerbaijan

Getting around Azerbaijan can be quite a challenge, similar to Turkey the taxi drivers are very likely to scam and misdirect you at every chance

If you're heading to Kazakhstan you can take a ferry from Baku to Aktau over the Caspian Sea

Make sure you visit as many of the abandoned palaces in Georgia's Tskaltubo before they're all blocked off, renovated or demolished. You can always find a way in if you search hard enough.

If visiting Georgia's Tskaltubo, do not force your way into any locked apartments as they are likely occupied.
