I’ve always been curious about this country but only now I finally traveled to Armenia. It’s not the easiest country to go to since there isn’t many information available and only two guidebooks to choose from. I chose for the Bradt Travel guidebook for Armenia (Bradt Travel Guide).
While reading the Bradt Travel guidebook , my expectations of Armenia where only growing.
So with a lot of expectations, my guidebook and a big backpack I left Belgium for two weeks. To Armenia.
I soon realized Armenia is really worth a visit. You may not believe me now, but you may do after reading my story and watching my photos.
Update: Armenia, a travel destination contains my best photos of Armenia on a single page.
Hello,
I’m Leander and living in Ostend Belgium, You think Armenia would be fun for my two kids aged boy 13 years old and girl 15 years old.
It would be in August 2019
We would like to hire a car you have some experience with it would you hire it in Belgium or in Armenia ?
Do you have an itinery of your voyage , and where did you sleep , are there a lot of hotels ?
I’m dutch speaking if you would like to answer in nederlands because i think you’re from Belgium (can be wrong)
best regards
Hi Leander, It’s hard to estimate for me whether or not Armenia would be fun for your kids. I would say go for it 🙂
Several car companies exist and can be booked online. I used the company sixt (international company, not very personal service) once and the other time I used the local caravan.am with who I got a very good experience. They brought the car all the way to Tbilisi where I started my journey and I drove it back to Yerevan. The also came to fix the car after I broke it withing 4 hours although I was on the other side of the country.
I traveled solo and slept in a tent but was also hosted by people I met during me trip. Some night I slept in basic hotels, but there should be enough hotels.to suit your needs.
It’s been a few years now since I last was in Armenia, but I’ll try to help you if you need more info. If so, please contact me on my email t.dekiere@gmail.com. I do speak dutch 🙂
Let me know if you need more info.
