Here is a step by step guide:
- Cross the road from the Sasuntsi Davit Train Station and wait for the Marshrutka’s passing by
- Catch a Marshrutka (1, 37, 44, or 58) wave for them to stop
- Tell the driver “Mashtots – Pushkin kaian stop” (Kaian meaning station) – so he knows to point out the correct stop to you.
- Pay the driver as you get off (currently 100AMD)
- When you get off the marshrutka cross the road to the opposite side of Mashtots Ave
- Walk to Pushkin St and turn right into it (towards Parpetsi St)
- Walk to the first cross road and turn right into Parpetsi Street – as soon as you turn you will see the Envoy Logo sign at the door
- Good news you are at home !!
