Our tour of Armenia starts in the morning, we will visit the monastery of Khor Virap. Armenia is famous for many sights, but one place is special and resonates in the soul of every armenian! The Khor Virap Monastery is located near the capital, offering a fascinating view of the biblical Mount Ararat."Khor Virap" translates as "deep dungeon". The monastery was built on the site of the former royal dungeon, where Gregory the Illuminator, the first Catholicos of Armenia, was held for 13 years. Therefore, it is not surprising that this is one of the most sacred places for Armenians from all over the world.

Next, we will visit the arch "Egishe Charents". It was erected in honor of the famous poet, who incredibly loved his homeland. The arch is located in a picturesque place, and you will admire the amazing views of the mountain Ararat and take unique photos.

The next stop of our tour is the pagan temple of Garni!
Garni is 28 km far from Yerevan. It is the only monument preserved on the territory of Armenia dating back to the pagan era and the only monument of the Hellenistic era in the territory of the former USSR. The temple was awarded the UNESCO Prize.
Due to its strategic location and pleasant cool weather, the fortress was a favorite place of the Armenian kings and was their summer residence.

From colossal basalt columns to complex formations resembling a chamber orchestra, each step reveals a new chapter in this mesmerizing symphony.

After that, we will visit the Geghard monastery complex, which appeared in the distant Middle Ages. It was carved from a granite monolith, and natural grottos and caves served as cells for monks in it.
The monks here gave shelter and food to belated travelers who did not dare to pass through the gorge after dark.
Geghard has earned fame as one of the most significant monuments of human history, and is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
