Highlights
- Garni Temple - The pagan temple of Garni was built in the second half of the 1st century by King Trdat III. This is the only pagan temple, which has been preserved on the territory of Armenia. After the adoption of Christianity it became the summer residence of Khosrovadukht, sister of King Trdat III. It was destroyed in 1679 by an earthquake. Parts, fragments of graceful columns and wall stones were spread around the temple. It is supposed that the temple was dedicated to Mithra, the God of the Sun. The temple of Garni is included in UNESCO World Heritage List.

Our great time in Erevan - My husband and I used the service of Jan Armenia Tours for two days.
On the first day, our guide Arev took us around the secret places of Erevan. We spoke a lot and had really great time together. We tried brandy, wine, and of course amazing food!
On the second day the driver Tigran took us from the hotel and together with the guide Taguhi we went to a few lovely monasteries, lake Seven, and the surroundings of Erevan. We wish we had more time to see all the amazing places, which the country offers, but we left it for next time because for sure we will come back one day.
Thanks for the support, guys!
