Hormuz Island

Reviewed By 1stQuesters - Tehran, Iran

Hormuz island is one of the most wonderful natural sites of Iran. Its colorful landscapes, with its red sand beach, are simply uniques. The best way to visit the island is to rent a bike. There's one main road which circles around the island and allows you to discover all the attractions of the island. But be aware that it requires a good physical conditions and it's not always an easy ride due to the uphill slopes. Even by taking your time, you can visit the island like this on a day. It's also possible to rent a motorcycle or have a driver with a rickshaw. You can choose to spend the night on the island, as there are some guesthouses. It's not necessary though. One of the best way to visit the island is when leaving Qeshm. There's a ferry leaving Qeshm for Hormuz early in the morning (around 7AM) and later, a ferry from Hormuz to Bandar Abbas (the last ferry is around 7PM and can be quite crowded), from where you can easily take a bus or a flight for anywhere in Iran.

Kandovan

Reviewed By ywwonglp - Cambridge, United Kingdom

On a weekday it might be easy to get to Kandovan but difficult to get back! First, a shared taxi to Osku (30000rial per person), driver drop you off at the roundabout. Then catch another shared taxi to Kandovan (70000 rial per person) However you might not find enough people to to share the taxi with and might have to go on a private taxi. ***best to find other travelers in Tabriz to go together to make it cheaper and easier ***a taxi driver quoted $20usd(while taxi) for a return trip plus waiting at Kandovan.(might be easier and faster if you have four or people to share) ***if traveling on your own, on your way back, be sure to try hitchhike with a local who's heading back to town otherwise it's impossible to find a taxi that go out on a weekday (we waited for an hour before a local is happy to take us back) Small you can spend 2-3 hours having a look at every cave shop and go to the hill ok the opposite and the free natural mineral water is also very famous there. This place is great for people who don't mind walking very steep steps and slopes!

Old City

Reviewed By Faezeh94 - Isfahan, Iran

Separation of the modern urban and traditional texture of Yazd city is the main distinctive feature of this city with other cities. Alley of calm and silent with kind people in the traditional texture of Yazd is one of the most prominent beauties of this city.
