7 Best Summer Holiday Destinations in Iran

There are great places in Iran which you can choose as your destination to escape the heat and enjoy a cool, pleasant weather in the summer.

One of the aspects that turn Iran to an amazing tourist destination is the fact that you can experience all four seasons at once in this country. In fact, by taking a short internal flight or a journey on train or bus, you can move from summer to winter and vice versa!

Although a vast part of the country in the center is covered with deserts, beautiful forests and shores have been located in the northern and southern parts of Iran and make it a suitable destination for summer or winter holidays. Of course, southern Iran is located near the Persian Gulf and is warm all year round, so it would be a great choice for colder months of the year.

On the contrary, northern Iran, located next to the Caspian Sea, is covered with evergreen forests and mountains and therefore, would be among the best options for a relaxing holiday in the hottest months of the summer. In this article, we’re going to explore some of the best summer destinations in Iran for experiencing a memorable and joyful holiday in the warmer seasons.
