Getting Around Xacmaz
Cheapest option but slow and infrequent. The station in Xacmaz is a 10-min walk from Maral Gol. Bring your own snacks and water.
Look for the old Lada cars or use the local Bolt coverage. Confirm the driver knows Maral Gol by its sign near the lake, not just the address.
Negotiate the fare before you get in, or use the Bolt app if you have mobile data. Drivers at the airport often start at 60 AZN.
The bus drops you at the town station; from there take a short taxi (3 AZN) to Maral Gol. Buy your ticket at the terminal counter, not online.
