Karmir Shuka
From Janapar
Karmir Shuka (Կարմիր Շուկա) is a village located in the Martuni Region.
A side trip to Amaras Monastery is possible from Karmir Shuka, though it should be done by car as it is closer to where fighting took place and there is a danger of possible mines.

History
Homestays
Samvel
Samvel (Սամվել ♂) Tel: 097-213-335 Samvel is in his late 20's and lives with his mother. Their house is currently under renovation, but livable. They have a shower, which is nice, since most of the other homestays don't. They provide you with good food and good company (his friends are usually over hanging out... nice guys). Samvel's grandmother lives across the street. One big perk of visiting Karmir Shuka is meeting Samvel's grandmother. She's really sweet, lives across the street, and looks like Yoda. She is also able to provide lodging if you're traveling with a large group. Languages spoken at Samvel's house are Armenian, Russian and Turkish. His friend Ando also speaks some English.
Tiko
Tiko (Տիքո ♂) Tel: 286-828 Tiko is married with 2 young children. He is another option if you plan on staying in Karmir Shuka. He also lives 2 houses down from Samvel and Yoda.
