Syunik Trip Part 1: Meghri and Agarak

I went on a vacation to the southern region of Armenia, Syunik last weekend.  I traveled from the capital down to the southernmost towns in the country, Meghri, and Agarak, right next to the border with Iran.

See.  Border Sign. 

The trip down took about 8 hours.  It was a long trip.  I actually went too far, and didn't get off in Meghri, but went all the way to Agarak which is the closest town to the border, and actually got a glimpse of the border crossing because the driver had to drop off some packages there.

The Mountains of Iran.

I was hosted by another volunteer and had a great time seeing the border, saw the old town of Meghri which  looks like it grew from the rock it is nestled in.

Stay tuned, I'll have posts in the next few days about the rest of my trip.
