• Khor Virap - Situated about an hour’s drive from Yerevan, the Khor Virap monastery provides a breathtaking view of Armenia’s iconic symbol, the majestic Ararat. “Khor Virap” means “deep dungeon,” and it was constructed on the site of the former royal prison at the historical location of Artashat. This prison famously held Gregory the Illuminator, the first Armenian Catholicos, for 13 years.
• Garni Temple - This tour will explore Armenia’s exotic Pagan history and the subsequent rise and spread of Christianity. Garni Temple, built in 77 A.D., is the only remaining pagan temple in the entire post-Soviet region. It stands elegantly on a high plateau overlooking the Azat River Gorge. The site also features a Roman bathhouse with a mysterious mosaic made from 30,000 pieces of natural stone, as well as the ruins of a royal palace dating back to the 3rd century A.D.
• Symphony of Stones - Located near the village of Garni, Garni Gorge is a breathtaking natural wonder in Armenia, also known as the “Symphony of Stones” due to its unique rock formations that create a stunning array of colors and shapes.

• Visiting the Symphony of Stones is subject to weather conditions.

• The Monastery of Geghard - This tour also includes the historical site of the Geghard monastic complex.

Translated as “Monastery of the Holy Lance,” it refers to the lance used by Longinus to pierce Jesus while on the cross, which was later brought to Armenia and kept at the Geghard monastery for five centuries. The complex exemplifies 13th Century Armenia, considered the Golden Age of the country’s architecture.

The most remarkable aspect is the architect’s skill in carving the church directly into the solid rock while adhering to all the principles of Armenian architecture.
