Karmravor is located in the city of Ashtarak, the largest city in the province of Aragatsotn, about 22 km from Yerevan.
There is no signage for Ashtarak or for Karmravank for that matter and a rough estimate of about 10 - 12 road signs are required to direct tourists from Yerevan to Ashtarak's "Karmravank".
The Church / Chapel can be easily located within the boundaries of the city of Ashtarak (Region of Aragatsotn). It's situated on a barrow, which has a view of Mt. Ararat, Mt. Aragats and 3 of the churches of the region. The complex currently is a non-working chapel.
The area has three parts:

• The main church
• The cemetery
• The surrounding area

The church building is small. The cemetery has a large area with ancient "Khachkars".
It has a parking space for 6-7 cars. The possibility for the enlargement of the existing parking is limited. However, because the monument is in the city center, there are ample parking spaces in the public streets of the vicinity.
Some renovations associated with the church have been done (e.g. the walls surrounding the complex, the entrance of the church area). Water pipes and electricity are available in the area. The sewage is 150-180 meters far. The site has potential for restrooms, a café and a gift shop.
Old fixtures for night lighting still remain on electrical posts adjacent to the parking lot. The water for irrigation is not too far from the complex. The inclusion of this site in the list of CFF is advantageous from several perspectives. The 7th century chapel is in an urban setting, has distinct boundaries and will be practical to maintain.
The Coffee shop and the souvenir shop can be very much functional and finding local entrepreneurs will be a snap. The Souvenir shop can sell handicraft and artwork of the local villagers and the potential for local employment and its impact would be immediate.

Site Visit #2 Report:

The second site visit was conducted primarily due to the lack of "practical" photographs. Information could have been collected during the first site visit thus making the second visit unnecessary. 
The trip took just about 30 minutes from the center of Yerevan. The lack of road signage was the reason to stop twice en-route and ask for directions (towards the end of the trip). It is estimated that about 12 to 15 road signs would be necessary in order to direct tourists to the "Karmravor" site from downtown Yerevan.

This picture is taken from the parking lot of the site and shows the city (public) street that is used in order to approach the site. The stone structure is the "unfinished" project situated within the boundaries of the site, which if finished, can house potential a coffee and souvenir shop and restrooms. The Stone structure is an abandoned and un-finished project of the previous government, which was to build sample old style, authentic houses for visitors to call upon.	As the car is parked in the parking area (capacity of 7-10 cars), one needs to cross the street to access the site. Across the street from the parking lot, this picture shows the view of the site. A stairway climbs from across the street to the chapel. The gate to the carpel area (middle of the picture) is the recommended exit.There needs to be a directional sign that directs the visitor along the wall to the right of the picture below.
Visitors park in the parking area (view from above the stairs, across the parking area). The parking lot is paved and in good condition.	As one walks around the wall (to the right) at the top of the stairs, he/she reaches the entrance to the complex which is a small opening in the stone wall that surrounds the complex.
Just a few steps inside the complex, visitors' view of the chapel and the skyline beyond it, with St. Marineh church in the distance, are visible.	Once inside, a 180-degree turn around (the picture above) shows the entrance and "Khachkars" from inside the complex.
