Ekaterina, good afternoon! Thank you, I had a great trip, the room was what I wanted (with a view of the park and a bathroom). I was very pleased. Thank you.

The only thing is that the transfer, in addition to me, met other women who were brought to Karlovy Vary and I had to travel instead of 2 hours from Prague to Marianske Lazne for 3 hours. This, of course, was not convenient; they brought me there in the evening. Of course, it would be more convenient to fly to Karlovy Vary.

Hello, Ekaterina. Our trip was a success.

The hotel is good. Repair, furniture, plumbing, bed linen - in excellent condition, no comments. Very clean and comfortable.

A little history of Azerbaijan

The territory of modern Azerbaijan preserves a rich historical heritage. After all, these lands have been inhabited since ancient times. And the first states, Caucasian Albania and Atropatena, formed more than 3 thousand years BC and before the beginning of the 8th century.

The population of the Caucasian Albania (the accepted name is Albanians) of the Lezgin branch spoke Armenian and Persian dialects. And few people know that, having ended atheism in the 4th century, this country adopted Christianity.

Thus, Jesus Christ was revered in Azerbaijan not only before joining the Arab Caliphate in the eighth century. And after the introduction of Islam, the Christian diaspora continued to exist, and worship in the Armenian language remained until the end of the 20th century.
