Not everyone still knows, but October – good month for traveling. That is, in fact, even excellent!
You decide to make a circle along the Golden Ring of Russia or get together in October to Turkey at sea – you will almost certainly be satisfied. Moreover, not so much the quality of rest as such, but the quality of impressions – they will be excellent.
Have you been to Suzdal earlier and more than once bathed in Antalya? It’s okay – there are enough places on Earth where it would be worth going in the middle of the fall.
And we will not shout in your soul, if we say that Yerevan in October belongs to their number! Indeed, at this time in the capital of Armenia and in general in the entire Transcaucasian country there is warm weather.
Nature is just starting to gold, the grape harvest is in full swing, people are relaxed and kind.
And tourists in Armenia in October somehow Not too much. Either they do not suspect that this month is extremely well suited for a visit. Either they would like to come, but the work does not let go – you need to earn a living and the next – of course, summer – vacation?
Obviously, this is an occasion, and almost the main one – to think about a trip to Yerevan in mid -autumn. Since when there are few tourists, the prices are both in hotels and in a cafe with restaurants, not to mention excursions to the Choir-Virap and Sevan, they begin to decline inexorably.

By mid -October in the capital of Armenia, cooling almost always comes. Moreover, in some years, even a sharp one-the weather seems to be thrown to another extreme, and air temperatures are lowered into the range of +12-16 degrees Celsius.
Night temperatures are also reduced. If at the start of October in Yerevan after sunset, the air is cooled by a maximum of +15-16 ° C, then by the end of the month nature may clearly make it clear that winter will come very soon (can be +4-6 ° C).
