Arménie : When to go ?

The beginning of spring, sweet, announces the tourist season, which beats its full in Armenia during the hot summer and sometimes hot, and until mid-October. In winter, foreign visitors are rare, even if the country has begun to exploit its snowy potential.Seasonal seasonalityThe high tourist season in Armenia extends from April to October. In this period, every season has its supporters.Spring has its followers for nature's hatching, with a dominant green tone of the chromatic range of mountain flowers, with rivers swollen by melting snow that still cover summits; as much as the season is cool and the snow makes some excursions difficult.Summer, for its sun that gives special shine to the Armenian landscapes and allows, more than any other season, to taste the joys of a swimming in Lake Sevan; however, some will complain about the sometimes stifling heat in Yerevan.The autumn of harvest has its many unconditional, which exalt the beauty of the landscapes burned by the summer sun and golden forests by approaching the winter (it is called here voské-achoun, autumn of gold) under a sky of a Azur blue.The snow of the Armenian winter has not attracted visitors in mass yet, but besides the beauty of the landscapes, they have no advantage for the glisse who love pristine slopes.

Arménie : Go with a local agency

The weight of historyFew countries, such as Armenia, can claim a three-year history. This nation, whose Assyrian, Persian or Greek records attest to seniority, survived the avanies of a history that has not, it...Diversity of landscapesArmenia is a tiny point on the map of the world, but nature expresses itself with a surprising diversity. In a territory not larger than that of Belgium, it brings together a range of landscapes, follows the mountain in all its modes, with variations that this induces on climate as on vegetation. Armenia is alternating high semi-desert plateaus burned by the sun and valleys covered with deep forests, volcanic mass with rounded weakly shapes covered with wooded pastures and mountain ranges at ragged summits crowned with eternal snow. By organizing your trip with a local agency that knows every corner of the country, you are sure to discover the most beautiful landscapes of Armenia.A hospital populationIn Armenia, tourists are considered to be "guests" (hür), which is what they are called. It is said how much hospitality is enshrined in local manners, it is even practised as a genuine national duty. If you organise your stay in Armenia with a local agency, contacts with Armenians will be even more authentic!
According to international standards, more than half of the Armenian population lives below the poverty line. The average monthly salary is $ 200 US $, and is therefore insufficient to sustain a family's basic needs. To make ends meet, it is customary to combine two jobs when we do not share abroad, most often in Russia. The money paid by Armenians working abroad also helps to ensure a decent life for families in Armenia, not to mention that they are a considerable financial windfall for the country, with hundreds of millions of dollars back on the money market. Since the crisis of 2008, this currency flow has been reduced. Elderly people are hardest hit by the persistent economic crisis, with monthly pensions and pensions that do not exceed $ 15 USD.For the foreign visitor, expenditures are not in line with the local standard of living. If restaurants are generally cheap, such as necessities, accommodation requires a budget that is not within the reach of the average Armenian.FormalitésFor the passenger arriving at Yerevan airport, the reception of the border police is far less rigid than in the past.
