The northern coast is filled with rich people's bullshit and over tourism. Try to check out Lorestan/Chaharmahal Bakhtiyari/East and West Azarbaijan^1 provinces. They have much nature to show you...
WARNING! IRANIAN HISTORY RANT AFTER THIS POINT!
1- Iranian Azarbaijan is the real "Azarbaijan", the country "Republic of Azarbaijan" is actually historically called Shirvan. That country was separated from us in Russian imperialism before the bolsheviks took over (due to a lengthy war with Ottomans and Iran being weakened) and then later on they changed the name to Azarbaijan in order to eventually conquer all of Iranian azarbaijan. USSR then managed to add fuel to the fire with their short sighted cultural revisionism projects which tried to establish a fake "Azarbaijan" identity out of thin air and distance them from Iran, which 80 years later has resulted in rise of pan-turk ethno-fascism. Those sons of removed ain't got Iranian Azarbaijan yet and they never fucking will!
All of those places look incredible, thank you. Urmia in particular seems to have a vast history that i could easily fall into reading about.
