Workation in Aktau: the essentials
Aktau was built in the Soviet era on the Mangyshlak Peninsula to serve uranium mining and oil, and for decades it was called Shevchenko. The city sits on the eastern shore of the Caspian, addresses still follow numbered microdistricts rather than street names, and the walk along the low limestone cliffs above the water is the usual evening outing. Ferries cross to Azerbaijan, and the desert landscapes of Mangystau, including Bozzhyra, draw overland travellers. Aktau International Airport is about 21 km away. It is a functional oil town with few sights of its own, so the surroundings are the reason to stay.
