What to expect
Step into the 1st century at Garni, the only Greco-Roman colonnaded temple in Armenia, perched above the Azat River Gorge. Nearby, explore the 4th-century Geghard Monastery, partially carved into the mountain and rich with history, acoustics, and sacred springs. Just a short drive away, the Symphony of Stones reveals stunning basalt columns shaped by nature. Head to Tsaghkadzor, a mountain resort perfect for skiing in winter or forest walks in summer. Visit the 11th-century Kecharis Monastery or ride the ropeway for views of Mount Ararat. End your journey at Lake Sevan, one of the world’s largest high-altitude lakes, where Sevanavank Monastery overlooks serene turquoise waters.
