Where to Stay in Old Town (Köhnə Şəhər), Astara
The historic core near the river, with narrow lanes and older houses. Not a tourist zone – more a residential area with a few old mosques and the city park.
✦ The vibe
Sleepy, traditional, lived-in – nothing polished, but genuine.
👤 Best for
Budget travellers and those interested in local everyday life, not attractions.
🏨 Where to stay
Private rooms in old houses or small family guesthouses; very cheap (20–30 manat).
🚇 Getting around
Walkable within the quarter; 10–15 min walk to the main road for shared taxis. Airport: Lankaran, then minibus.
📍 Nearby
Astara History Museum (small but worth a look); Heydar Aliyev Park.
