Sheki Central Bus Station → Şəki HII Motel (town centre)

Ganja International Airport (GNJ) → Şəki HII Motel
💡 Ganja is closer than Baku. If you land midday, share a taxi with other travellers heading to Sheki – check the airport arrivals board for shared rides.
Baku International Bus Terminal (20th January Metro) → Sheki Central Bus Station
