Where is Aftab port?
OpenStreetMap has an unnamed ferry-terminal node at 26.717048, 53.925639, about 457 m from the village centre (secondary source, retrieved 2026-10-13). No official postal address was found, so we give none; put the coordinates in your navigator.
Road access: what we do not know
We computed road distances for Charak but not yet for Aftab, so we give no guessed figure. Use a live navigator and match your arrival to the car reception time. Official information on parking and taxis at Aftab was not found either; ask Kish Ports before you travel.
Crossing time and cost
A secondary source (1404) puts the landing-craft crossing from Aftab at about 1 h 30 min and the reference round-trip fare for an ordinary car at about 4,200,000 toman. That is old and secondary, not today's price; check the portal.
Loading and entry tips
Departure times are approximate and loading can delay departure by up to 45 minutes. Per the portal the car fare includes the passenger fare, car-ferry tickets are non-refundable and sailings depend on weather. A secondary source quoting port advisories recommends a full tank before entering Kish because of fuel-supply limits.
Steps
- Buy on the official portal and enter name and plate exactly.
- Be at the port 30 minutes before with the car and one hour before as a passenger, with valid ID.
- Pay the island entry toll at the origin gate; the portal does not state the amount.
