- Garni Temple - Garni Temple (77 A.D.) stands as the sole heathen temple remaining in the entire post-Soviet region. It majestically sits on a high plateau overlooking the Azat River Gorge. The site also features a Roman bathhouse with an intriguing mosaic composed of 30,000 natural stone pieces, alongside the remnants of a royal palace from the 3rd century A.D.
- The Monastery of Geghard - The Geghard Monastic Complex is another historical highlight of this daily tour. Known as the “Monastery of the Holy Lance,” it refers to the lance used by Longinus to pierce Jesus on the cross, which was later brought to Armenia and preserved in the Geghard Monastery for five centuries. The complex exemplifies 13th Century Armenia, regarded as the Golden Age of the nation’s architecture. The most remarkable aspect is the architect’s skill in carving the church directly into solid rock while adhering to Armenian architectural principles.
- Lake Sevan - A visit to Armenia would be incomplete without seeing one of its most iconic landmarks—the magnificent Lake Sevan.
Situated at an altitude of 1,900 meters above sea level and encircled by a majestic mountain range, this stunning lake is a must-visit.
Visitors will ascend to the Sevan Peninsula, where they can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the lake from the top. While there, they can explore Sevanavank Monastery, home to one of Armenia’s most exquisite Amenaprkich (All Savior) Khachkars. This exceptional cross-stone is among the 13 rarest in the country, beautifully depicting Jesus.
- Goshavank Monastery - The tour continues to Northern Armenia, where visitors will be surrounded by stunning nature. Passing through the city of Dilijan, there will be a stop at the Goshavank Monastery. This historic church is nestled in the heart of nature and shares its name with the charming village. Mkhitar Gosh, a prominent intellectual of his time, known as “a humble man of wisdom,” authored numerous works, including the first code of civil and Canon law used in both Greater Armenia and Cilicia. He is interred near the church he constructed in 1188. Here, visitors can also admire Pavghos’s (Poghos) Khachkar, considered the most beautiful “embroidered” Khachkar (stone cross) in Armenia.
- Haghartsin Monastery - Dating back to the 10th -14th centuries, the Haghartsin Monastery’s name translates to “the play of the eagle.” The scenery resembles a stunning masterpiece, with both the monastery and its natural surroundings offering a breathtaking view. The refectory of Haghartsin is the largest in Armenian Church architecture, representing a significant innovation of its time. To truly appreciate its uniqueness, seeing it in person is highly recommended!
- Dilijan - Dilijan is a charming town, often dubbed the “Switzerland of Armenia” due to its remarkable natural beauty. Strolling along the oldest street, Sharambeyan, visitors will be enchanted by wooden houses, many of which date back to the 19th century.
