İran, ziyaret edeceğinize hiç inanmadığınız bir ülke olabilir. Bir aydan fazla bir süredir burada sırt çantasıyla, dürüstçe bunun bir gezginin rüya varış noktası olduğunu, son derece tavsiye ettiğimiz olduğunu söyleyebiliriz! Birçok insan siyasi nedenlerden dolayı bu uzak toprakları bulmaktan korkuyor ya da (bazen) uzun süreli vize sürecinden rahatsız edilemezler, yani ülkeyi neredeyse kendinize alacaksınız.
Not: Şubat 2014 itibariyle, Kanada ve İngiliz pasaport sahipleri Amerikalıların saflarına katıldı ve şimdi İran’da kaldıkları süre boyunca bir rehberle birlikte gitmeleri gerekiyor. Üzgünüm beyler! Talihsiz haberler…
Abartılı ulaşım ve konaklama, tarihi yerler, doğal harikalar, inanılmaz insanlar ve lezzetli mutfaklar ile… Neden gitmiyorsunuz?
İran’a seyahat etme konusunda neye inanıyorsunuz? Bunun risksiz bir yer olduğuna inanıyor musunuz? bize göster!
