Armavir is based in Central Armenia, past Echmiadzin. It is the capital of the Marz (state) of the same name, though it is probably still called more frequently by its old communist name of Hoktemberyan (in honor of the October Revolution) than by Armavir and the ancient Armenian capital whose ruins are nearby.

Travel to Armavir

Vans (called marshutni) depart from Yerevan to Armavir regularly throughout the day. Taxis in Yerevan are happy to take you there for 100 dram per km. Along the highway from Armavir to Yerevan you can catch vans and buses heading to Yerevan, or even private cars, but if you are west of Armavir your options are more limited, as there is much less traffic.

Day tours from Yerevan are offered by some companies by van with other tourists, including guide and sometimes lunch which include the most popular destination of the area - Sardarapat.

Transportation in Armavir

Armavir is not a very big town and is very flat. Walking is an option, or a taxi.
