Turkmenbashy
Turkmenbashy (formerly called Krasnovodsk), 654km from the capital of Turkmenistan with population of about 70.000. It is situated on the Caspian Sea and has some magnificent sandy beaches. One hundred twenty six years ago Colonel N.G.Stoletov founded a town which he named «Krasnovodsk». It became the administrative centre of the Caspian region and retained that status until 1917.
Now it became a major transport centre with developed oil refining and building industries. Nearby facilities for mining building stone and natural resources (for example-salt, etc.) turned this town into a major transit centre for raw materials. Moreover, one can spend an unforgettable time on the Caspian sea-shore.
