Getting Around
Midrange and top-end hotels provide free airport transfers for their guests. Otherwise, a
taxi from the airport to most parts of the island will cost US$4.
Excellent air-con minibuses (short trip US$0.35, longer trip US$0.70) cruise the north-
ern and eastern roads between Mir Mohanna and Marjan Mall; just flag one down, hop on
and pay the driver when you get off. From the boat terminal, you can crowd onto a local
minibus or take a private taxi. A short taxi trip costs US$3.

There's only one good reason to come here, and that's to leave straight away (ie on a cata-
maran to Kish). We've supplied sleeping and eating options for those who get stuck in the
town while waiting for a ferry.
Banks are on Pasdaran St and will usually change foreign currency.

looking the Gulf, this family-run place is 1.8km west of town down a lonely side road.
The clean rooms have sea views and bathrooms with Western toilets; wi-fi is only avail-
able in the foyer. To find it, look for the petrol station on the main highway - Janbazan Rd
is directly opposite.
