City Tour around Yerevan - the capital of the Republic of Armenia.Having a history of almost 2800 years, Yerevan is a modern city with high-rise buildings, nice cafes, and parks. It is a combination of rich history and a modern lifestyle. Yerevan City was designed to overlook the biblical Mount Ararat, and the Holy Mountain can be seen from every corner of the capital. You will see all the major sights of the capital, including the Opera house, Republic Square, Baghramyan Avenue, the Presidential Palace, Academy of Sciences, and National Parliament, as well as the “Cat statue” by famous sculptor Fernando Botero at the Cascade area; enjoy the panoramic view of Yerevan, etc.

Temple of Garni: The only pagan temple in ArmeniaDay 03Armenia is an ancient country, and during its existence, people went through different epochs, and before accepting Christianity, the ancient Armenian pagan religion dominated the country. And today, many traces of the history of our country have reached us, and one of them is the pagan temple of Garni. Garni Fortress is famous for its 1st-century Hellenistic Temple – Roman Baths, palace, and church ruins. Garni Gorge is very popular among tourists visiting this place to see the natural rocks of amazing beauty, which are known as the “Symphony of Stones” or “Basalt organ”. Lunch in Garni.
Geghard Monastery (UNESCO)We’ll visit Geghard Monastery (UNESCO), where the Holy Spear was kept piercing Christ’s body. Both tourists and locals love Geghard because the view is simply incredible: the monastery is located in a gorge between high suspended rocks, between mountains covered with thick forests. The monastery itself and its cells are carved into the rock.
Gyumri – HarichavankDay 04The City of Gyumri is a must-see when visiting Armenia. That being said, it is around a 2-hour drive from Yerevan, which means there are plenty of opportunities to stop along the way and see some other less well-known sites! The standard and slightly shorter route to Gyumri is the main highway to the west of Mount Aragats, but if you go around the eastern side of the mountain, which takes around 10 minutes longer, you will be able to stop at the beautiful monastery of Harichavank. Lunch in Gyumri. Overnight in Yerevan.

Areni CaveDay 06Areni Cave is now recognized as the oldest winery in the world. The oldest leather shoe was also found in Areni Cave, stuffed with grass and stowed away for storage. Its owner must have made it around 3,500 BC. . A wine press was found in one of the cave’s rooms, where a hard place drains into a jug.
Noravank MonasteryOne of the most beautiful and unusual places to visit in Armenia is definitely Noravank Monastery. Not only is the religious sight an ancient masterpiece, but also renowned because of the location and scenery surrounding it. The Monastery of Noravank is easily one of the most important complexes in Armenia. It was founded in 1105 by Bishop Hovhannes.
Old BridgeFamily-run since 1998, Old Bridge is a boutique winery offering tastings, paired with locally produced goat cheese and honey. There is a historic bridge nearby, dating from the 13th century that gives the facility its name – a fun spot to explore and work off some of that fine food and drink. Degustation of wines.
