Yerevan

In mid March, 2016 we visited Yerevan again, this time we booked a boutique hotel on Koghbatsi street - Park Hotel.  We booked this hotel on booking.com for about EUR 80 per night, and stayed here for two or three nights (don't remember anymore) and used as our base for further Yerevan's exploration. There are two another hotels in Yerevan I can really suggest - Hotel Meg and Republica hotel. Yerevan's boutique hotels are among the best in the World I have ever stayed.  Park hotel in…

I have used Kilikia bus station to travel from Yerevan to Tbilisi using minivan (marshrutka), but seems you can get from Kilikia to Istanbul (Turkey), Tehran (Iran) or Moscow (Russia), take in note those will be very long trips (starting 40 hours) and I would rather prefer to fly instead of traveling such long distances by bus. I reserved a seat a day before by calling to firm in Yerevan - Tbilisi minivan (Read more:Tbilisi - Yerevan transfers by taxi car ). Cost for Yerevan - Tbilisi minivan…

We paid a visit to Karas fast food restaurant on Mashtots avenue in Yerevan, just shortly we checked in at nearby Park hotel on Koghbaci street.

This post is a round up post from my birthday celebrations in capital of Armenia, Yerevan, at start of the August.

I even expressed my joy, learning that regular flights has been launched from Tbilisi to Mestia. After several attempts to contact aircraft-carrier - they didn't expressed much trust for me - like - on…

<p>During my short two days trip to Yerevan in Armenia, I decided I will need a local SIM card to make calls and browse internet.</p><blockquote><p>There are three mobile phone operators currently in Armenia: Viva Cell MTS, Orange and Beeline.

During our short 2 day trip to Yerevan, Armenia, in time we celebrated my 29th birthday - we tasted a lot of great Armenian and European food.  Now, looking through my Instagram account - I decided to add photos of food I have taken with my Android phone.

We started our food adventures at Marriott Hotel in Centre of Yerevan at 6 AM. We…

We made a reservation for Republica Hotel Yerevan during our trip to Armenia, to celebrate my birthday on August 6th to August 8th.

Erebuni Fortress is an ancient site situated in the capital of Armenia, Yerevan. I had heard of this place before, but hadn't visited it in my two previous trips to Yerevan. This time I decided to change that. Actually this was my birthday I visited this place. My overall impressions? Well... Let the photos speak for themself: Road to Erebuni Fortress We took a taxi from Yerevan Mall, and taxi driver took from us 1000 Dram, although the fare-meter showed 800 Drams. I didn't argued much…

One of the top attractions in Yerevan, Armenia is the Cascade - stairways providing probably the most beautiful views of the city.

The taxi driver soon realized I'm…
