Things to do in Kish Island

  1. Kish Diving Center

    Kish Diving Center, found on the beach outside Shayan International Hotel, charges about IR350,000 for a one-hour dive with equipment. A four-day PADI open-water course costs IR3,500,000 – and would make you one of a very small group who could say: ‘Where did I learn to dive? Iran!’

  3. Payab Restaurant

    Above the underground water reservoir, the Payab is cool and romantic in the evenings and the food is delicious. It offers fresh bread, big serves or fish, kabab or dizi (soup-stew). Extras (like chay ) are expensive.

  4. Ladies’ Beach

    Kish is one of the very few places in Iran where swimming is actively encouraged. There are sandy, uncrowded beaches around most of the coast, but women must use the Ladies’ Beach.

  5. Payab

    Between November and March the best way to see Kish’s sights is by bicycle. The most interesting is the restored and mercifully cool underground water reservoir called the Payab.
