Nakhilo islands

Nakhilo is the name of one of the most gorgeous islands in Iran, which is more popular than others due to its beauty. The island is small and can be explored on foot in under an hour. The beach on Nakhilo Island is mostly sandy, with a small section of rocky beach. One of the island's most notable features is its clean and clear waters. The island is almost oval in shape.

The interior of the island is densely forested with small, low shrubs. In early winter, this area is quickly covered with beautiful yellow flowers that contrast with the blue colour of the sea to depict beautiful landscapes. Walking among these flowers with a cool breeze and the sound of sea waves is a rare and even unique phenomenon in Iran. Nakhilo Island is teeming with wildlife, and many birds come to spend the winter there. As a result, entry to this island is restricted, especially during the breeding seasons of these birds.
