Visit this interesting piece of coast where a long bridge enters the sea for the purpose of delivering oil back to the land from tankers. The local security will be more than happy to show you the bridge. Also the sea is very rough with strong winds, delivering a great experience and view.
This area contains a water spring that burns constantly as if it were a gas lit flame.

30 m high, numerous mud volcano cones and hundreds of active gryphons can be found. Very impressive and beautiful.

If nothing is there, try this location.
Just west of Artupa village in Astara is the southern part of Hirkan National Park. The road to the park runs along the Iran border where a long stretch of barbed wire fencing and a guarded iron bridge in Iran are plainly visible. The guard will sometimes wave back to gawking tourists. At the end of the road are natural hot springs that merge with the river. Here you can alternately dip in the hot springs and the cold river.
Sanatorium/hotel, but you are probably better off with the hot springs near Lankaran.
Choose an airport to see hotels, stations, taxi ranks and car rental desks around it.
