Türkmenbaşy, Port city on the Caspian Sea in Turkmenistan.
Turkmenbashy City stands as a major port with multiple docks, terminals, and maritime facilities supporting regional trade across the Caspian Sea.
The settlement changed its name from Krasnovodsk to Turkmenbashy in 1993, marking a shift from Soviet influence to independent Turkmenistan governance.
The city maintains traditional Turkmen markets where local artisans display handmade carpets, textiles, and regional specialties throughout the week.
Travelers reach the city through the international seaport terminal, which connects Turkmenistan with Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Russia via regular ferry services.
The Awaza district features modern resorts and entertainment venues stretching along 16 kilometers of Caspian Sea coastline.
