Hi, I was thinking of visiting Armenia some time this year. It's just a barely thought out plan now. I was thinking of going to Turkey first overland from Iraq (where I'm living now). Then making a few stops in Eastern Turkey to places I haven't visited yet. After that, going up north to Southwest Georgia and then going to Armenia. It's supposed to be about 7 hours from Akhaltsikhe in Georgia to Yerevan. It's closer to just visit Gyumri but I don't know if Gyumri is all that interesting and if I'm that close might as well go all the way. However, that's a lot of overland travel to go all the way up to Georgia and Armenia and I might not have the funds either. What do you think? Any advice? How costly is it to travel in Armenia, hotels and such. I'm an American citizen BTW, not sure if visas are needed in advance but that's easy enough to look up.
