What awaits you
Acquaintance with the sacred building
The temple of Garni contains memories of pagan times. We will “go back” to the past to learn about the fate of this building. Whose residence was here? How did the adoption of Christianity affect the temple built in honor of the sun god? What happened to him after the earthquake? You will survive all the tragedies and joys of Garni, as well as look inside the shrine and admire the skill of Armenian architects. If you wish, you can see a natural miracle - "Symphony of stones" in the gorge Garni.
From polytheism to the relic of Christianity
The next point of the tour is the Geghard Monastery, built in the 4th century. I will tell you the most interesting facts from his chronicles: who lived in one of the cells in the Middle Ages, why this structure is so strikingly “vivable” that it is unique in an ancient building and much more. You will understand what place Geghard occupies in the souls of Christians and why it is included in the UNESCO list of cultural heritage. In addition, at the monastery you will be able to taste the national gatu pastries and buy Armenian sweets.
Lake Azure
Sevan is a treasure of Armenia, which the locals affectionately call “our sea”. Picturesque mountain landscapes will amaze you with beauty, and the fate of the reservoir will surprise you with interesting details. You will hear the legend of the formation of the lake and the history of the production of the famous trout. Go to the monastery of Sevanavank on the shore of the lake, from where it offers a magnificent view.
