Tatev Monastery - Goris is considered to be the most visited destination for the tourists because one of the wonders of Armenia is here. The one and only Tatev Monastery Complex, The Devil’s Bridge and The Tatev Ropeway are situated here. It is not a secret that Tatev is a fascinating place that attracts everyone. There you can see an ancient oil mill with stone grinders, mighty fortress walls upon massive cliffs, the swinging pillar which has a unique medieval structure: the last saint of the Armenian Church; ancient frescoes by European master and of course, the tomb of Grigor Tatevatsi.
There you will be the witness of Syunik’s extraordinary nature and will discover the historic treasures of Goris. The Tatev Monastery was the cultural center of Armenia. Nowadays this is a must place for tourists and it is not possible to come here and not to want to see it again. In fact, in 1995 the Tatev Monastery complex was included in the list of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites.
Tatev monastery’s history dates back to 9th century. Undoubtedly, this monastery is one of the oldest and the most famous complexes in Armenian history. It was built in 895. The complex has three churches; the Poghos Petros Cathedral, St Astvatsatsin and St Grigor Churches, the Grigor Tatevatsi mausoleum, “Gavazan” monument and other historical buildings.

The Wings of Tatev is a 5.7 km (3.5 mi) cableway between Halidzor and the Tatev Monastery in Armenia. It is the longest aerial tramway; the construction was finished on 16 October 2010.
Wings of Tatev is the shortest, most picturesque and impressive route to Tatev Monastery. The cable car travels at a speed of 37 km (23 mi) per hour and a one-way journey takes 12 minutes of unforgettable flight above the ravine of the fierce Vorotan River.

Amazing Trip - Very well planned and managed overnight private tour with Jan Armenia. Starting from Lilit, the tour coordinator to the amazing driver Artyom all went beyond my expectations. Lilit gave us a very fair deal, managed and monitored the whole trip and assaigned us a very friendly and knowledgable driver. Artyom acted like a “real” driver and a tour guide (eventhough I did not requested one). He was very, very knowledgable about every single village/town/stop and did not hesitate to inform us about all the details. We are very pleased and happy with the two day tour and I would definitely use them again for my future trips.
