Derbent

Sea, mountains, ancient fortresses, and Caucasian hospitality.
Derbent is a fortress city on the Caspian Sea.
It is the southernmost city in Russia. From the sea to the mountains, ancient fortress walls stretch through Derbent, a majestic citadel rises above the city, and the streets hide in the shade of ancient trees.
