Transport in Sisian - Lonely Planet Travel Information

Getting there & away

There are four marshrutkas to Yerevan (AMD2000, four hours, 8am, 9am, noon and 2.30pm) and one to Goris (AMD700, 45 minutes, 8.30am) each day, where the bridge meets Israeilyan Poghots (along the north bank). Taxis wait at this junction too. There’s also a bus stop at the turn-off from the Yerevan–Goris road into town, where people often wait for rides.

Local tours can be negotiated directly with the taxi drivers or through one of the hotels. A trip to Shaki Falls or Zorats Karer costs about AMD700 to AMD1000, a ride to Goris AMD5000, and a longer tour to Tatev Monastery and back about AMD9000.
