The main distinction of Армянск is that it lies on the narrow neck of land connecting the Crimean peninsula with the mainland. It is Armenian and Greek, historically. One does not absolutely need to go through Армянск to travel to/from Крым (Crimea) but from our origin it made sense that day.
We were coming from Зализный Порт which was fabulous! We could have backtracked toward Херсон and followed the major highway the rest of the way. But, I took a more direct route down some rough back roads through small villages. This gave us plenty of opportunity to get lost and for Жанна to ask directions in Russian. Also, for confusion and emotional tirades.
All in all it wasn't that bad. We hadn't ridden for a few days in Зализный Порт and Жанна was armed with a fresh set of nails and a new do. There are no important cities after Армянск until Евпатория. It was time to stop.
The гостиница we found was very reasonable and it was early enough to go shopping, which we did.
