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.
