Zor Zor Church in Mako is one of the most beautiful churches in West Azerbaijan and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Zour Zour Zour is the only historical monument in Iran that is not in its original place and has been moved once and will give you a spectacular view.

This church is harder to reach than Lonely Planet makes you think (have they actually been here??), because the road leading to it is closed for the public, as it belongs to the dam. We asked the rather unfriendly guard at the gate for permission to pass and luckily got it after waiting for around 10min. Please also be aware that as of spring 2018, you can reach the chapel only from Maku. We opted to try the gravel road connecting the village nearby to Siah Cheshmeh, it's doable, but not recommended if you don't have a 4 wheel drive. The chapel itself is closed but beautifully located, throning above the artificial lake beneath. Most certainly, you won't have to share these views with anyone else.

Plus the best way to go to this place is traveling from Maku, the road from Zor Zor church to Qareh Kelisa which passes through few villages is under construction (and in some part...
