From the
Sero terminal
(Mirza Shirazi St)
, 3km northwest of Faqiyeh Sq, minibuses
run to villages of the Gonbadchay Valley, strung along the loop road that leads up to the
dam reservoir and beyond, turning north 6km before the border. Taxis to Sero cost US$5
from outside.
Getting Around
The airport is 13km up the Salmas highway (taxi US$4, 20 minutes). The most useful
shuttle-taxi routes run from Faqiyeh Sq, either along Imam Ave then along Modarres Ave
or up Taleqani St to the terminal. Savaris to lakeside Bandar-e Golmankhaneh (US$1, 20
minutes) leave from the corner of Valiasr and Haft-e Tir Blvds, a little south of the bus ter-
minal, on summer weekends.
