Crossing Iran from Turkey

[Aleco]

Hi guys,
I'll be from the mid of May in Turkey, Istanbul, where I'll start my long trip through Asia.

I would like to stay 2-3 weeks in Turkey, and than cross to Iran by land.

Any suggestions? From where you would like to suggest me to cross? I'm holding an Italian passport and most probably I'll try to get my visa in advance.

Any more suggestion will be appreciated.

Thank you,
Alessandro

HI Alessandro,

Most people cross at Gurbulak – Bazargan: Between Dogubayazit and Tabriz. If you don't really know what you want to do, I suggest you go there. If you want to go somewhere else, I would suggest you read up on the news and talk to people about the war in Turkey.
