    • filter_dramaGet in
      Vans (Marshutni) to Yeghegnadzor are the cheapest way to get in from [wiki=06d3be641f6cc1104f650889d4047c67]Yerevan[/wiki]. It is an hour and a half drive from Yerevan, and taxis will take you for $20-30 as well. Marshutkas (about $5) and shared taxis depart from Gordzaranayin traffic circle, near the subway stop of the same name.
    • filter_dramaGet around
      Walking around much of Yeghegnadzor is nice, as is hiking to some of the closer sights. A car or taxi to other sites is quite helpful however. There is only one main highway running to the south of Armenia so it is not a problem to try and hitchhike. Armenians outside of Yerevan are very friendly. If you try to hitch stand on the side of the road a little outside of town on the highway leading to Yeghegnadzor and hold out your hand. Do not be surprised if they driver who picks you up invites you to his home for horovats (Armenian BBQ).

      A taxi from the main entrance to the guesthouse area (in the northwestern part of the town) should cost about 500 AMD ($1). A taxi to Shatin or Vernashen is 1000-2000 AMD ($2-4).

      Many car owners act as taxi drivers and make a nice conversation. Taxi drivers:

      * Aris Gevorgian (tel: 077524535), a 60-year-old retired sports teacher whose son lives in Moscow and makes Armenian music. He'll be happy to play some of it for you. He won't let you overpay even if you insist.
    • filter_dramaSee
      Just a couple of villages from Yeghegnadzor is Areni, famous for its wine from grapes of the same name. Nice setting and village, with a couple of the wineries in the area offering tastings.
      *Hands down the most popular site in the area, this monastery of stunning beauty is in an equally stunning canyon setting. The brick-red cliffs opposite the beige stones of the monastery offer an unforgettable contrast, as does the climb up the stone steps jutting out of one of the churches, to a second story church on top of the one on the first story. The carvings are also very worthwhile, and the monastery has excellent facilities (and maybe food) for visitors as well.
      *If you want to see where silk road traders laid their weary heads a thousand years ago, head up the winding road to Selim Caravanserai. You can see the entrance/bar area, and the large cavernous room the guests would share with each other, and their animals. The room has convenient troughs for the animals to eat and drink from!
      *Up in the mountains is the Monastery of Tsakhats Kar. A nice hike from the village below, or an offroad drive for those with a serious 4x4. Time seems to have forgotten this place, but you need not. It's across from Smbataberd (see below), and together they make a great outing.
      *A serious natural fortification with a serious fortress on top. This narrow sheer cape is capped with one of Armenia's biggest fortresses. The views of the valley's are impressive and the sheer drop a bit scary. Impossible to imagine this fortress ever being taken by force.
      *These rough caves, found very close to one another, were mapped during Soviet times, but there are no markers, no lights, no facilities, no decent road to them. Not many people know them well either, so finding a guide may be tough, but definitely necessary. Mozrov is only 700m long, but has the nicer formations. Arjeri cave, meaning bears cave, is a very extensive cave system, with some good formations, small pools of water, and both have bats.
      *These two sites are quite close to each other, and a great day hike from Yeghegnadzor. A local guide, topographic maps or a GPS might be handy, but these very off-road sites (also accessible by car, preferably 4x4) are rarely visited.
      *Another good day hike from Yeghegnadzor, these adjacent sites are easy to find by following the road up past Vernishen village.
      *This village, beautifully sited in the canyon below Smbataberd (which may be better accessed from the opposite side of the canyon) has the very unusual triangular shaped Zorats Church, where the congregation is meant to stand outdoors. It also has another nice small church and much rougher one, and ancient Jewish cemetery across the river below, and don't be surprised to stumble upon women baking lavash in the traditional underground tonir over!
      * This is an area that includes slopes of Ayotsdzor mountain ridge from vicinity of Gnisheek village down to Noravank gorge and provides wide opportunities for butterfly-watching. There are 163 species that can be observed in this area. They include Carcharodus lavatherae, Parnassius mnemosyne, Zegris eupheme, Colias aurorina, Colias chlorocoma, Tomares romanovi, Ultraaricia crassipuncta, Polyommatus dorylas, Polyommatus eriwanensis, Polyommatus surakovi, Polyommatus huberti, Pseudochazara schahrudensis, Hipparchia statilinus, Chazara briseis, and number of others.

      Hire a taxi (or drive) for the whole day in a loop, following the river canyons surrounding Yeghegnadzor.

Sion monastery and fun little Chiki Vank Monastery) before continuing down to the Arpa river and heading north to Yeghegnadzor.
    • filter_dramaBuy
      This being Armenia's wine country, you can buy wine in huge jugs on the side of the road, or bottles from a winery. You can also buy young wine, which is not very fermented yet, called majar.
      *This traditional cheese is made nowhere else in the world. Goats milk and herbs are mixed and sealed in a clay pot and buried in the mountains for 6 months, at which point it is salty and sharp. Cheese connoisseurs love this, and you can buy some to take with you.

      There are many barbecue restaurants, many of them with primarily outdoor seating along the highway near Yeghegnadzor, along the Arpa River. In Yeghegnadzor there is a small new restaurant/cafe which opened in 2006 in a central location, with indoor or patio seating.
