• Khor Virap - The Khor Virap monastery is situated about an hour’s drive from the capital, Yerevan, and provides a stunning view of Armenia’s iconic symbol – the majestic Mount Ararat. “Khor Virap” means “deep dungeon,” and it was constructed on the site of the former royal prison at the historical location of Artashat. This very prison held Gregory the Illuminator, the first Armenian Catholicos, for 13 years. It is no wonder that this site is one of the most sacred places for Armenians worldwide. Additionally, it is the closest point to Mount Ararat from Armenia, often becoming the top reason to visit the country!
• T’rchuneri (Bird) Cave - The tour will take you to Bird’s Cave. In 2008, archaeologists uncovered some of the world’s oldest artifacts here, including a leather shoe and a winery. The site, overlooking the Arpa River near the town of Areni, is believed to date primarily to the Early Bronze Age (around 5,000-6,000 years ago). It also contains evidence of complex burial rituals and agricultural practices.
• Noravank Monastery - Another must-see location is Noravank, a jewel of medieval Armenian architecture, nestled high among the stunning brick-red cliffs at the end of the Gnishik Canyon. Here, you will find the only depiction of God the Father in Armenia, as remarkable as the face of Jesus Christ that appeared on the dome of the Church’s narthex. Built by the Orbelian noblemen, it stands out among churches as the sepulcher of this noble family, making it unique since it was strictly forbidden to bury people inside a church since the 5th century.
• Wings of Tatev - The longest cableway in the world (approximately 6 km), registered in the Guinness Book of Records in 2010. During your ride, you will enjoy a breathtaking view over one of the most beautiful spots in Armenia, if not the world.
• Tatev Monastery - A must-visit in Armenia is Tatev Monastery, which was once the educational and spiritual center of the country. It is built on a high plateau in the Vorotan River gorge, surrounded by stunning mountains and dense forests.
• Areni - As the “finishing touch” to this tour, you will have the opportunity to taste and even purchase Armenia’s famous Areni wine at Ar-Areni Winery.
