You, Too, Can Disappear in Iran

Our thoughts are with the family of Robert Levinson, the former FBI agent who has gone missing in Iran. That being said, why didn't he email us about Kish Island before he went MIA? The place looks sweet! Its waters are crystal-clear, and snorkeling and diving opportunities are abundant.

For those curious about the destination that's been attached to this recent story, it's true that even American citizens do not need a visa to visit. The island's most luxurious lodging is at the Dariush Grand Hotel, which one TripAdvisor reviewer calls as nice of a place as you'll find in Iran, but not quite up to international standards.

Kish Island can be reached by flying Kish Air from the United Arab Emirates. Lest you be a bit worried by the website's opening message about its humble beginnings with leased Bulgarian aircraft, fret not, because they also really "care about you."
