Border crossing Armenia - Iran
Just to let people know, it is very possible, even easy to cross from Armenia into Iran, and I presume, go the other way too. Armenia is nice too, beautiful mountains, OK roads. Visa at the border. If anybody wants to go from Georgia to Iran, I would definitely recommend going through Armenia instead of Azerbaijan.
I (German) crossed into Iran this summer on a bike, with a carnet. Was stamped out of Armenia without much hassle, they were a little slow though - it's a former Soviet republic. Iranian immigration was quick, customs too (with carnet), no problems at all. They didn't even search my luggage for alcohol or other "un-islamic contraband". The whole thing was over in less than an hour.
There are a couple of money changers, with good rates, when you exit the Iranian border compound. First Iranian fuel station is in Siahrood, about 30 kilometers west of the cossing.
