Kandovan is one of the most beautiful villages in Iran. The history of Kandovan’s caves dates back seven thousand years. However, about 700 years ago, during the Mongol invasion of Iran, the people of the East Azerbaijan region sought refuge in caves to preserve their lives. These caves, now resembling beehives, are proudly displayed 18 kilometers from the city of Osku.
Kandovan Village is the only rocky village in the world where its residents currently welcome tourists. When you approach this village, take a deep breath and enjoy its exceptional air.
The special attention from domestic and foreign tourists to Kandovan has led to the construction of numerous accommodations and hotels in the vicinity of the village, so there’s no need to worry about lodging. The village’s souvenirs, such as handicrafts, dried fruits, and honey, can keep the pleasant memories of your journey alive for a long time

The most peculiar tourist attraction in Shiraz is Maharloo Salt Lake.
The astonishing feature of this lake is its pink color. During mid-summer, it takes on a reddish hue due to high evaporation and salt concentration, leading to the formation of algae that presents you with a pink-colored lake.
The combination of the white salt and the red color of the lake creates a magical harmony for both domestic and international tourists. Maharloo Lake serves as a safe haven for birds, especially flamingos.
Located 57 kilometers from the Shiraz to Fasa road, near a village with the same name, Maharloo Lake is a must-visit. After exploring the lake, you can also visit the orchards filled with almond, fig, and pomegranate trees in the village of Maharloo.
The best time to visit this lake is from mid-fall to mid-spring when the onset of rainfall increases the lake’s depth to 1 to 3 meters.
