An artist's view, a multi-storey ravine and ancient Derbent

After breakfast at the hotel, drive up the serpentine towards the village of Keger. At the very top of the serpentine there is an observation point. This is exactly the view Aivazovsky painted in his painting "Aul Gunib in Dagestan". The view is meditative, especially when the weather is good.
Advice: if you have a thermos flask with you, fill it with coffee while having breakfast. Then you will be able to admire the view, sitting on a bench and drinking coffee.

The parking lot (trailhead coordinates: 42.393181, 47.068842) is always full of cars, and there are signs.
Saltinskiy is not the waterfall that many people are used to seeing. There is very little water here, which does not prevent the gorge from surprising you with its shapes, ledges, transitions and tiers.
The walk is easy and does not take long. On your way back you can take a seat and drink tea in one of the local cafes. Or rather, it's not even a cafe, but tables with teapots.

The road to Derbent will be long and often not very interesting. The road along the Caspian Sea is lively, and overtaking here is customary briskly, regardless of traffic signs.
In general, the first thing you will want to do in this ancient city of Derbent is have a bite to eat.
Stop by "U Fountain" cafe, there are excellent shashlik and barbeque fish. It's best to book a table in advance, perhaps and make an order so that everything is ready right when you arrive.

With renewed vigor you can rush to explore the sights of Dagestan. Naryn-Kala Fortress is an ancient citadel, part of the Derbent Fortress, connected to the Caspian Sea by double walls, designed to close the so-called Caspian Gate to the Persian Power. The fortress is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Entrance: 250 rubles. Working hours: 09:00-18:00 (you should enter before 18:00, you can walk inside for longer).

Juma Mosque (the oldest in Russia, VIII century) is the center of the old Derbent, founded in 438 as a Persian fortress. In addition to it, historical magals (districts), city walls, men's, women's and maiden's baths, and the sacred cemetery Kyrkhlar with the mausoleum of Tuti-Bike have been preserved. Go down to the old town by the stairs from Naryn-Kala.

"Scarlet Sails is not just a restaurant, it's also a great hotel. First of all, you come here to settle in for the night and rest, and then to have dinner. The local restaurant is of a completely different level than the meals at the guest houses.
Restaurant and hotel Scarlet Sails stands directly on the first line of a sandy beach. If the weather permits, run for a swim before dinner!
