Explore the ancient history of Armenia on a self-guided tour of the Charents Arch, Garni Temple, and Geghard Monastery. Admire the breathtaking views of Mount Ararat, discover the only standing Greco-Roman colonnaded building in the post-Soviet area, and explore a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Start your journey at Charents' Arch, a small but significant monument located along the road to Garni. Named after the famous Armenian poet Yeghishe Charents, this spot offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Mount Ararat on clear days. The arch itself is simple, yet it frames the majestic peak perfectly, creating a picturesque moment. Spend some time here to soak in the view and reflect on the history and poetry of Armenia.
Next, head to Garni Temple, a short drive away. This Hellenistic temple, dedicated to the sun god Mihr, stands as a testament to Armenia's ancient history. It’s the only standing Greco-Roman colonnaded building in the entire post-Soviet area, making it a unique and impressive site. Explore the temple and the surrounding complex, which includes the ruins of a royal bathhouse with intricate mosaic floors. The temple's location on the edge of a cliff offers stunning views of the Azat River Gorge, adding to its grandeur.
Continue your tour with a visit to Geghard Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Carved into the cliffs of the Azat River Gorge, this medieval monastery is partially hewn out of the surrounding mountain, blending natural and human-made elements in a profound way. The monastery complex is famous for its rock-cut churches and intricate carvings, some of which date back to the 4th century. Wander through the atmospheric interior spaces, where the sound of ancient hymns often echoes, and discover the history and legends associated with this sacred place.
