Turkmenbashi Port, the maritime gateway to Turkmenistan, is located in the city of Turkmenbashi on the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea. Whether you're on a business trip or exploring Turkmenistan's historical routes, here's how you can reach the Turkmenbashi Port.
Travelers can fly into Turkmenbashi International Airport (TUA) which services international and domestic flights. The airport is well connected with the capital city, Ashgabat, and other major cities through Turkmenistan Airlines and other carriers. Upon arrival at the airport, you can hire a taxi or arrange private transport to cover the short distance to the port.
Turkmenbashi is linked by road to Ashgabat and other significant urban centers in Turkmenistan. You can hire a car, take a long-distance bus, or a shared taxi (known locally as a "taxi brat") to reach Turkmenbashi. The drive from Ashgabat can take around 6 hours on well-maintained roads.
There's also a railway station in Turkmenbashi connecting it with various parts of the country, including a direct train service from Ashgabat. Trains offer different classes of comfort and can be an economical choice for travelers not in a rush.
Turkmenbashi Port is a vital link for ferry services across the Caspian Sea. There are ferry connections that bring passengers and vehicles from Azerbaijan's Baku and other Caspian Sea ports. Schedules can be sporadic, so it's best to confirm timings and availability in advance.
Travelers can also book tours or cruises that include stops at the Caspian Sea and Turkmenbashi Port. Check with cruise operators for specific details and schedules.
