All questions about entering Turkey and riding through always welcome.
Some additional information to enter Armenia.
Both bordergates between Turkey and Armenia are closed so ı can recommend 2 plans.
1-Ride through Georgia.
Sarp (TR) Batumi-Tbilisi-(Sadakhlo-Bagradesh gate) then Erivan.
From tbilisi, 1 hour ride to bordergate then 5 hours to Erivan.Many crazy truck drivers on the road.
2-Ride through Iran (done last year by 1 german, 1 UK. biker friends)
Tebriz-jolfa-nordus-erivan.
Dangerous mountain roads and more crazy truck drivers here.
Armenia is a wonderful, natural and cheap place not to miss.....
All information due to sept.2012..
I dont think anything has been changed since then.
Visa fee is 8 usd. for everyone at Armenian bordergates..not available for green passport holders..You must apply at your home country or to Tbilisi consulate some months before you are there to pick up.
Insurance is obligatory in Armenia and none in Georgia.
Ins. fee in Armenian banks is 7 USD. for 1 bike 1 week and 15 usd. for 1 bike 2 weeks.
Wish you all the best.
