    Armenia is more then the churches
  

*by A***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 8, 2010*

I have had this book when traveling in Armenia in June 2010. After having precise and clever Bradt guide in Etiopia I assumed that the editor guarantees the quality. Unfortunately not in this case. There is no question that the book is written with love for country described, its People, customs and culture. Another fine point is very detailed description of the churches and monasteris to be visited in Armenia.However Armenie is realy a wonderfull country, and it is much more then churches. Here guide misses the point -it properly presents limited possibilities of acomodation in smaller towns, however there are lots of nice places to stay outside Yerevan, which are nonexistent in the guide.Book is focused on travel in rented car, describing in detail when and where to turn. However with so cheap hire of car and driver, such description is not as necessary as precise information of possibilities to visit nice places, when one alredy arived to destination. I mean nature wonders of Armenia (and most of so precisely described churches ...), which has to be reached by foot. Such information in the guide is very uprecise and  often missleading (f.e. mountains and monasteries around Dilijan, mountains, castles and monasteries around Yeghanodzor). If we have had worse weather, we could have big problems caused by wrong directions ... The author seems to underestimate southern Armenia (again Yeghanodzor) and seems that he is not a fun of hiking. Description of hiking possbilities in Pambak mountains or Iljevan mountains is very missliding, as overall impresion of what is on offer there(there is much, however one has to be prepared for some nuances not foreseen in the guide). Not mentioning such nicietes as permament presence of venomus snakes in the south (1,0 - 1,5 m long, however not very agressive), what makes long mountain boots a must there. Information about public transport (realy well developed) is also almost nonexistent in the guide. And why the autor forgotten to write about some very probably satanisctic features of more remote monasteris? Finding them out (when using Armenian magazine devoted to the topic) was exciting - much better then Da Vinci Code.Taking into account qualities of described Bradt as of Lonely Planet guide, somebody has to write a new, good guide to Armenia. This wonderful country deservs it!

    Top notch guide for in-country travel
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 20, 2005*

I recently moved to Armenia and purchased this book right before leaving the USA.  My interest was mainly to use it to find neat places to go in the countryside, and this book definitely fills that purpose.  We live in Yerevan, the capital, which is fairly well documented by the book.  Our second weekend in the country we decided to travel up one of the nearby mountains - wife and three young children - to go sledding in April - and not speaking ANY Armenian yet.  All we had to go on was the region map on page 106 and the narative description on the authors travels.  We made it to our destination (and two meter deep snow) easily.  Just this past weekend we used the book again to visit an old (1000AD) castle ruins and some monestaries hidden in the forests of the Lori region.  The narative in the book was once again precise in all details - our only issue was when we encountered a newly paved road that was described as being in poor condition in the book (time has passed since the writting).  I specially commend the book for those interested in getting out and around to the more remote areas.  The book would be considerably better with maps of every town that the main roads turn in and color pictures mixed in with the text (right now the pictures are all at the center of the book).  Yerevan itself is changing rapidly and may not be quite as described, but the countryside is almost identical to when the author visited.

    A good guide for a first time visitor
  

*by C***  on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 24, 2007*

This is a good book to have if you are visiting Armenia for the first time, so, you get a sense of what everything is and where to go. Compared to some guides about Europe, it lacks the picture/entertaining part. Usually, people see pictures, are attracted to what they see, and therefore decide to visit that particular location. However, lack of pictures only gives history and people may miss out on some great location, city, monument or achitecture because they may not feel moved by only its history. Overall a good book to have, it can be better though.
