    Default Visiting Armenia

    My and some of my friends want to visit the Caucasus region for about one month.

    How about Armenia? Unfortunately there is not that much information online so I'll ask here.

    What about traveling. What do you suggest? Train, bus, taxi?
    Some of us speak Russian, is that enough? What about English? Useful? And if so, where?
    What about the security? We are a mixed group is it safe for European girls?
    We don't need hotels but are there even hostels.
    Any cultural rules we should obey?


    Some advice and must sees are welcomed too.


    Thanks for answering!

    I've heard there are a lot of Armenoids over there. IDK about Armenia, but in Europe and the US, armenoids have a reputation of being real tricky and swindling so watch out!

    Armenians are a Caucasian conservative Christian population, I am personally not that comfortable with this, but if you don't mind this, then I can tell you I am from Yerevan, the capital city of Armenia. I recommend you visit our country's capital to get a better idea of our general phenotypes, over 1 million people live in Yerevan, and there are only 3 million people in our entire country (except Karabagh). In the capital city, you'd get a better idea of what modern and more civilized people. You'd get better hospitality there.

    Hard to believe, but the phenotypes are not that important for such travels.

    I recommend you go to Jermuk and Sevan.


    Jermuk (Armenian: Ջերմուկ) is a mountain spa town in the southern Armenian province of Vayots Dzor Province, 53 km east of the provincial capital Yeghegnadzor. It was a popular destination during the Soviet era and nowadays is still famous for its hot springs and mineral water brands bottled in the town. It is attractive for its fresh air, waterfalls, artificial lakes, walking trails, the surrounding forests and mineral water pools. The town is being redeveloped to become a modern centre of tourism and health services. Jermuk is also being set up to become a major Chess centre, with numerous chess international tournaments scheduled in the town.

    As of the 2011 census, the population of the town is 4,628. The nearby village of Kechut (pop. 1,083) is also part of the municipality (community) of Jermuk.

    Sevan (Armenian: Սևան), is a town and popular resort in Armenia, located in the Gegharkunik Province on the northwestern shores of Lake Sevan. The town is located at a height of more than 1,925 metres (6,316 feet) above sea level, 65 km (40 mi) northeast of the capital Yerevan.

    The town is surrounded by Sevan National Park, which extend from the northeastern parts of the town to the southwest, while Lake Sevan forms the natural border of the city to the east.

    As of the 2011 census, the population of the town was 19,229. However, as per the 2016 official estimate, the population of Sevan is 19,200.

    My part of Caucasus (Krasnodar krai and Adyghea) is safe. Just saying.

    Armenia is a very safe country. There are a lot of hostells in Yerevan. Food is very good, natural, healthy, tasty and inexpensive. Taxis are incredibly cheap, it's more convenient to use online service Yandex-Taxi, you can download that app to your android device.
    Russian and English will help.
