Expedition to Iran
We started our trip to Iran from the north of Turkey, and more precisely from the city of Trabzon. There we went to the embassy, where we applied for a visa (cost approx. 75 euro plus passport photos, ID photos, approx. 3-4 pieces). I would like to add that you have to wait about 2 weeks for a visa in Poland. We filled out the visa forms on the spot, and then we had to wait about 3 hours for the visa to be issued. During this time, you can go to the Sumela Monastery. After receiving the visas, we hitchhiked through Georgia and Armenia to Iran. We did not hitch in Iran itself, because in most cases the drivers still demand payment. At the border crossing, a gang of taxi drivers jumped at us, offering a ride for a ridiculously high price. After a few minutes of bargaining, we chose the cheapest option. At the border crossing, you can also change money, because the conversion rate is quite favorable (note! There are two currencies - the old and the new, so it's easy to make a mistake or be cheated - differences in zeros).
