Itinerary

  • Picking up from the hotel and heading to the Arch of Charents

  • The Arch of Charents, a poetic gateway to Armeniau2019s soul! This monumental arch was built in 1957 and dedicated to one of Armeniau2019s greatest poets, Yeghishe Charents. While the arch itself is minimalist in design, the real magic is in the view: on clear days, you get a breathtaking panoramic sweep of Mount Ararat.

  • Geghard is a medieval monastery in the Kotayk province of Armenia, being partially carved out of the adjacent mountain, surrounded by cliffs. It is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site with enhanced protection status.

  • It is said that this natural monument is the result of the collapse of the volcanic rocks. The monument consists of huge paradoxically symmetric hexagon and pentagon basalt columns (nearly 50 meters high). These stones hanging against the gravity resemble an organ, which explains why it is also referred to as u201cBasalt Organ Pipesu201d.

  • The Temple of Garni is the only standing Greco-Roman colonnaded building in Armenia and the former Soviet Union. Built in the Ionic order, it is located in the village of Garni, in central Armenia, around 30 km east of Yerevan. It is the best-known structure and symbol of pre-Christian Armenia.
