Itinerary

  • Although there are various historical landmarks in Armenia, the oldest and most well-known is probably the Biblical Mount Ararat. This is why our tour promises a spectacular view from the closest spot possible.nnThe Khor Virap monastery is located about an houru2019s drive away from the capital Yerevan, and offers an amazing view of Armeniau2019s defining symbol u2013 the majestic Ararat. u201cKhor Virapu201d translates as u201cdeep dungeonu201d, and was built of the place of the former royal prison, located on the historical site of Artashat. It was this very prison in which they kept Gregory the Illuminator, the first Armenian Catholicos, for a whole 13 years. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that this place is one of the most sacred spots for Armenians around the world. Likewise, itu2019s also the closest point to the Mount Ararat from Armenia; very often this spot becomes the number 1 reason to visit our country!

  • Aside from Khor Virap, another place that canu2019t be missed is Noravank. It is one of the gems of medieval Armenian architecture, nestled high among the stunning brick-red cliffs in the end of the Gnishik Canyon. Here you will see the one and only depiction of God the Father in Armenia, which is just as astonishing as the face of Jesus Christ that appeared on the dome of the Churchu2019s narthex. Built by Orbelian noblemen, it stands out among our churches as the sepulcher of this noble family, making it unique since it was absolutely prohibited to bury people inside a church since the 5th century.

  • You will be given a chance to taste and even purchase Armeniau2019s renowned Areni wine. Made from the oldest grape variety in the whole world, the wine is available in several wineries in the actual town of Areni itself, which we will make a stop at before finishing the trip.
