Chalus and Nowshahr suit travellers arriving from Tehran on the Chalus Road, and Anzali is ideal for the lagoon and wetland.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Are there hotels on the beach in northern Iran?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes. Parsian Khazar in Chalus, Ahovan near Chaboksar and Sefid Kenar in Anzali are among the best-known beachfront hotels. Apartment hotels in Nowshahr, Noor and Fereydunkenar also have sea-facing suites that suit families, groups of friends and longer summer stays by the water.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-2\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">When is the best time to stay on the Caspian coast?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Late spring and early autumn are the most pleasant times, with mild weather and fewer crowds. Summer and Nowruz are the busiest periods, when many Iranian families travel north, so book well ahead if you plan to visit during those peak weeks.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-3\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I stay in the mountains above Ramsar?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes. Shayan Hotel is in the village of Javaherdeh, about 45 to 50 minutes&#8217; drive above Ramsar. Its 26 rooms have balconies and wide views over the forested hills, a cooler and quieter alternative to the busy coastal strip in summer.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-4\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How do I get to the Caspian coast from Tehran?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Most travellers drive north on the Chalus Road through the Alborz Mountains or take the Haraz Road towards Amol. Both routes cross the mountains and are spectacular, and the journey takes several hours depending on traffic, weather and the season.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the top 7 beachfront hotels in Northern Iran.
