Masuleh
Region:
Iran Inland from Rasht, Masuleh is refreshingly green for Iran. In spring and summer it would be beautiful, but even in winter with the skeletal trees hanging to the hillsides, the town is great.
Only one hotel here, but the village people make extra cash by putting you up for the night. I was offered accomodation without even asking, so it should be easy to find if you look!
