During old
times, locals living in Siraf Port were busy with trading merchandises like textiles
and pearls over the seas and were known as wealthy and civilized people. The
historical mansion of Siraf which has been the residential house of the
governor and is located on the hills, boasts the charming architecture of
Iranian houses. The elegantly ornamented arcs, the terraces facing the turquoise
sea make this Qajarid mansion visit worthy.
The complex of numerous crypts dug into the ground is the mysterious secret
of Siraf. Some archaeologists believe that these holes were graves dating back
to ancient times while some other believe that these hand dug holes were used
as water wells. The impenetrable stone walls of the holes kept the rain water
all year long. Considering the size of
the holes, the second possibility seems more logic.
Do not leave Siraf without testing the chilly and tasty local dishes. Varied
sea foods made with fresh fish and shrimp and also homemade sweets made with
dates are the foods you can enjoy in Siraf.
