What Wikivoyage says about moving around
  • Get inIf you just want to go to the "kghzi" peninsula with the most popular beaches during the summer, then marshrutkas make frequent trips from Yerevan for cheap.
  • Get inThroughout the year you can take the Ijevan/Dilijan/Noyemberyan marshrutka and hop off at the lake as well, or depending on where you want to go in the region you can take a van directly to Vardenis or Martuni or Kavar.
  • Get aroundAlways offer a little tip in return—the equivalent of a marshrutka ride is common.
