Kariz-e-Kish (also called Payab) is an ancient underground water system with aqueducts and reservoirs 16 metres below surface, under a coralline layer. The system is over 2000 years old and covers about 10 000 sq metres. It has been restored and there are now a traditional tea house and handicraft stalls there.
Arriving to the Kariz I was surprised the entrance fee was as much as IR 20 000 (much more than the entrance fee to many other sites in Iran), but you will get a guided tour and the guide was good at English and had a lot of information to tell.

After some water sports and shopping,one can go for visit the historical and local texture of the island like the city of Harireh,Saffein and Baghu and the the island's 700 years old aqueduct which has been the main element for the locals income during the ages by supplying fresh water to their neighboring regions.

A small complex, surrounding the famous Green tree. It's said that this tree is the oldest (about 600 years old) Lour Tree of the island.There are more of these trees in the island but this one is believed to be the oldest .
Some people believe it's a holy tree.(but I've heard the natives don't believe in that.)
The form of this tree is really amazing.
This complex is near ancient city of Harireh.

In 1966,people found a ship run aground on the western coastline of the Kish island. It's a greek ship. There were almost no way to move the ship out of that place.So since then,that ship has become one of the Kish attractions. It's now rusting and getting decayed little by little.
But the attracting fact about this Greek ship is the amazing view of sunset behind the ship. Most of the tour leaders arrange the tour and the timing well so that people can be there in sunset time.

Iranians love Kish shopping centers,lol, they can spend the whole day shopping.
Kish has some great shopping centers, some are more famous.I think these are the best :
1.Kish trade center
2.Paradise 2
3.Paradise 1
These shopping centers have cafe shops and restaurant too.
There's a shopping center(not a very big one) for Chinese products with a really low cost (i dunno about the quality) but they're really cheap.
Sorry if some pics are not very clear ;)

In the east part of Kish you will find most of the resort hotels and big shopping centres. Saffein (the area where I stayed) in the north west part of the island is more a residential area and near the sea you will find the older part with low traditional houses. Here you can hear a combination of Farsi and Arabic, as the Arabic influence throughout the centuries has been great.
