Definitely one of the highlights of my entire Iranian itinerary. Just loved this place and the wonderful atmosphere (particularly at night) when a lot of local families come to socialize and have outdoor picnics or take a ride around the square in one of the many horse-drawn carriages.

Love to spend some time far from cars and tall bulidings? You may need to spend a day or two in Houyeh village. Houyeh is located near Isfahan city center ( about 20 minutes by car) and benefits from several cultural and natural attractions. Zayandehrood river passes through Houyeh during its way towards Isfahan. There are also seven pigeon towers with more than 200 years of age. These buildings were built by local farmers centuries ago in order to collect pigeon feces which is proved as an effective organic fertilizer. Houyeh is also well-renowned for its traditional,religious ceremony called "Ta'zeeyeh" which is held in Moharram (the first month of the year in arabic lunar calendar) every year. This is a religious ceremony to show and rememeber how Imam Hussein and his family were killed by enemy troops in Karbala more than one thousand years ago. In recent years, a Zurkhaneh (a special place for doing Iranian traditional sport) has been built in the village, and it is worthwhile to spend some time in the evening at Zurkhaneh watching Houyeh's people performing some unique sport activities. After spending about half a day in the village, you may feel a bit hungry. Well, do not worry! Houyeh's women are famous for their cooking! You will be hosted by a local family and will enjoy a healthy, traditional food which is cooked with fresh and mostly organic ingredients. That's it! Enjoy your stay at Houyeh village:)

Ghoortan citadel is a 1000-years old citadel, 10 km outside of Varzaneh town. It is located next to Zayanderud river, with plenty of old houses, mosques, 14 watch towers, hemams, and animal coats. Still a live citadel, some families are living in southern corner of that. All mud-brick, and historically rich.
