The AMAZING JOURNEY To Yazd

In this third episode, I leave Kashan heading to Yazd. This video is all about the road trip, but there's some great stop offs on the way!
I’ll visit Abyaneh (ابیانه), the beautiful "Red Village", head off for lunch in Naein (نائین) (Soup Jo and Koobideh) and visit the Jameh Mosque of Naein. Finally I'll head to Meybod (میبد) to see the Shah Abbasi Caravanserai and the beautiful Narin Castle with it's stunning views over the old city.
I also change guides in this episode, going off with Reza who I'll be spending the rest of the trip with. He's a great guy and I highly recommend you get in touch if you're looking for a guide in Iran. Here's his Instagram:

(Sorry Reza that you get kicked in the face by a baby goat again in this video! 🤣)
This is still just the beginning, there’ll be a lot more coming from one of the most fascinating countries I’ve experienced.

PATHS LESS TRAVELED
In the late summer of 2022 I embarked on an epic road trip around Iran, during a time of unrest as protests escalated across the country.
Covering around 6200km over 24 days, I was able to see this incredible country in a way that many are not fortunate enough to see, and to record my experiences in a way that has not been done before.
Safety concerns meant that I had to limit my filming on occasion, and stay well away from any signs of the troubles going on.
However, what I did see was an incredible insight. Some of the most wonderful and welcoming people, incredible history and culture, and mind blowing food.
Paths Less Traveled - Iran is my story of my experiences, put in an in-depth series of Iran travel vlogs.

Caravanserais had a unique special place in Iran's history. I am glad you visited one of them. Thanks for the interesting video.

[@ChrisKermis]

Thank you! Caravanserais have fascinated me since I first saw and learnt of one in Iraq earlier this year. Imagining how they would be back in the time of the Silk Road. It's not the last caravanserai in this series that's for sure!

[@SanamJanamian]

White cars make sense since the weather is hot, it stays cooler and doesn’t absorb heat.

[@ChrisKermis]

That's absolutely true!

[@TheSaintrover]

The green car at 3 mins and 18 seconds is really a Hillman Hunter. First exported from Britain in 1967 in kit form and eventually all the tooling came to Iran in 1978. The Paykan (which means Arrow after the Hillmans other name (The Rootes Arrow) was produced in various forms until 2015 the last model which was a pickup. Rootes off course made Sunbeams , Singers , Hillmans and Commer vans until bought out by Peugeot and re badged as Talbots.

A short visit to Abyaneh, one can't get much from the visit. It would have been excellent if not for the lack of time and to present the true Abyaneh traditions. Your guide unfortunately did not have knowledge about Abyaneh and its history. Still you gave a nice picture of Abyaneh. Thanks

Yep, not the best of times. As I said in episode 2, I had quite some thoughts about just going to the airport from Tehran and forgetting about the whole road trip. But back then it was only a couple of days in and nobody thought there would be any problem.

Hey Chris, I think you're so brave traveling through the Middle Eastern country such as Iran. Enjoy & be safe buddy.

Great video Chris. I saw you were using your hand to have the food, as an Iranian living in the UK, I am pretty sure it is not common in both countries, was it your choice or someone in Iran told you to have the food by hand?

[@ChrisKermis]

I saw others whom I was with doing it so just tried to do the same. Interesting that you say it's not common in Iran. Certainly not in the UK, but as someone who's travelled a lot of countries I'm used to just going with the flow.

[@behnammirgol5752]

Chris as an Iranian here in Iran, even I don't feel safe! Please be very careful because a Spanish person was caught and they are probably holding him ransom. You look middle-eastern ish to pass but if you are filming with a camera and stuff.. you might arouse feelings of suspicion! That is not to say that I don't appreciate you being here and showing us in an unbiased light but still... these are dangerous times EVEN FOR US! (You might have mentioned this things in your videos but I am commenting before watching the whole video as do most KZbin dwellers. My anxiety got the best of me) Edit: Ok ... I watched the 1st video and I'm glad that you are now safe and out of the country. PHEW ... Maybe visit us again when there is a regime change and show the cool hidden gems of Tehran or my favorite city, Rasht. Best wishes m8!
