The Curious Cave Houses Of Kandovan, Iran

image credit: Bastian

When we first think of Iran, we may consider the unrest in the Middle East, and may even demure from traveling to what we perceive to be a rather war-torn region of the world. If you take this stance, however, you will be missing out on one of the most unique and beautiful sights in the world.

In Kandovan, there is a collection of amazing houses, unlike any others in the world. For more than seven centuries, people have inhabited the caves in the surrounding mountains and stone formations, building themselves a community you cannot see anywhere else in the world.

When you use text from the sites you are linking to, do you ever consider fixing their typos? In this case, "demure" instead of "demur", but I've noticed lots of others in the past.
