Qeshm & Hormuz Island Exploration in Autumn with Persian Gryphon Travel Group “PGTG”
🍂 Where the Colors of Autumn Meet the Blue of the Persian Gulf
As summer heat fades and autumn breezes touch the Persian Gulf, Iran’s southern islands come alive in comfort, color, and calm. This fall, Persian Gryphon Travel Group (PGTG) invites you to explore the natural and cultural gems of Qeshm and Hormuz Islands — two of Iran’s most extraordinary destinations where geology, ecology, and artistry meet in perfect harmony.
🏝️ Why Visit in Autumn?
Autumn is the best season to explore southern Iran. With mild temperatures, clear skies, and refreshing sea breezes, you can comfortably hike through geological wonders, wander colorful valleys, and interact with the warm-hearted locals.
This is also a quieter travel season — meaning more authentic connections and deeper immersion into island life.
🌴 Qeshm Island – The Island of Seven Wonders
Iran’s largest island, Qeshm, is home to the UNESCO-listed Qeshm Geopark, where every rock tells a story millions of years old.
🔹 Highlights:
Stars Valley (Setareh-ha Canyon): An ancient natural formation shaped by wind and rain — a surreal landscape for photographers and dreamers alike.
Hara Mangrove Forests: Explore by boat among emerald trees where herons, flamingos, and turtles thrive.
Namakdan Salt Cave: One of the world’s longest salt caves, filled with glittering crystals and healing air.
Laft Village: Wander through historic wind towers and watch the sunset over the Persian Gulf’s oldest port.
Naz Islands: Walk across the seabed at low tide — a magical encounter between land and sea.
Nadealian Art Gallery & Museum: Discover the vibrant art and recycled sculptures created by the local artist Ahmad Nadalian, symbolizing harmony between culture and nature.
🌈 Hormuz Island – The Rainbow Island of Iran
A short ferry ride from Qeshm, Hormuz Island is a living canvas of red, yellow, and purple earth. The island’s colorful soil, salt formations, and cultural warmth make it a must-visit.
🔹 Highlights:
- Rainbow Valley: A natural masterpiece where multicolored hills glow under the autumn sun.
- Red Beach: Watch waves turn crimson as they touch the island’s iron-rich sands.
- Portuguese Fort: A reminder of Hormuz’s historic trade routes and maritime importance.
