Getting there & away
A Yerevan-bound marshrutka (AMD7000, nine hours in summer, 11 hours in winter) departs at 9am from the Hotel Meghri, just off the central square, on Block 2. A bus to Kapan (AMD1000) departs at 7.30am. A taxi to Kapan should cost AMD8000 to AMD10, 000 (90 minutes) from Agarak or Meghri. A taxi between Meghri and Agarak costs about AMD2000.
Hitchhiking from Meghri to Kapan is difficult – suspicions run high in this border area and drivers are less prone to pick up strangers. If you’re stuck, take a cab to Kajaran and hop on a marshrutka.
On the other side of the border buses are rare or nonexistent, but a taxi to Jolfa (Julfa, Culfa) should cost US$5 to US$8 (40 minutes) with bargaining. A shop just outside Iranian immigration exchanges currencies.
