The first stop is near the Arch of Charents, which is named in honor of Armenian poet Eghishe Charents, who wrote the best poem, dedicated to Armenia, full of true love and pride. From this place opens a breathtaking view to Ararat, probably the most stunning view of the Biblical mountain.

The next stop is Garni Temple (77 A.D.) –it is the only standing heathen temple in the whole post-Soviet area. The temple gracefully stands on a high plateau overlooking the Azat river gorge. The surrounding area itself is incredibly beautiful. The greek-roman bath house with the mosaic, made out of 30,000 pieces of natural stones, as well as the ruins of the royal palace, will take you to 3rd century A.D. Not far from the temple of Garni (about 10 minutes’ walk), there is a cozy local restaurant with an amazing view of the temple, where you can relax and take part in master-class of tasting of freshly baked lavash – traditional Armenian flatbread.

This majestic natural monument isn’t only a “must see” place in Armenia, but also “must have photos in” place. Please note* The guests will be able to visit the "Symphony of Stones" until the first snowfall.

Le monastère de Geghard est un autre site historique inclus dans cette visite. Saint Geghard symbolise la lance avec laquelle le centurion romain transperça Jésus après sa crucifixion. Plus tard, la lance fut apportée en Arménie et conservée au monastère de Geghard pendant cinq siècles. Le complexe illustre l'Arménie du XIIIe siècle, considéré comme l'âge d'or de l'architecture du pays. Cependant, le plus étonnant de ce complexe réside dans ses églises creusées dans la roche, construites selon les règles de l'architecture arménienne. Le monastère de Geghard est inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO.
