Our journey begins at the Garni Temple. Established in the 1st century AD, this Pagan Temple is the only remaining temple from the Pagan era in Armenia. Despite being ruined by an earthquake in 1679, it was carefully restored in 1975. Our next stop is the Geghard Monastery, named after the mythical lance that supposedly pierced Christ’s body. Even though its exact construction year is uncertain, the current complex was erected in the middle of the 13th century. Following this, we’ll proceed to Lake Sevan, one of the world’s most substantial lakes, renowned for its sweet and incredibly blue water where we can bask in the lake’s splendid landscape. Afterward, we’ll tour the Sevanavank Monastery on the Sevan Peninsula consisting of two monasteries - one that lies in ruins while the other continues to stand firm.
