Itinerary

Arrival- Garni temple -Geghard Monastery
  • The Monastery of Geghard

    1 hours 30 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    The Monastery of Geghard is one of Armenia’s most remarkable spiritual and architectural treasures. Nestled at the entrance of the Azat Valley, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is partly carved into the surrounding cliffs, blending perfectly with the dramatic natural landscape. Founded in the 4th century and expanded in the 13th, Geghard is famous for its rock-cut chapels, exquisite carvings, and sacred atmosphere. The name “Geghard” means “spear,” referring to the legendary relic once kept here — the spear that pierced Christ’s side during the Crucifixion. Visitors are captivated by the monastery’s mysterious beauty, the echoing sound of sacred hymns within its stone walls, and the breathtaking views of the surrounding gorge. Geghard is not only a masterpiece of medieval Armenian architecture but also a place where faith, history, and nature unite in harmony.
  • Garni Temple

    1 hours 30 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    The Temple of Garni is one of Armenia’s most iconic landmarks and the only standing Greco-Roman colonnaded temple in the post-Soviet region. Built in the 1st century AD, it was dedicated to the sun god Mihr and served as the summer residence of the Armenian kings. Perched dramatically above the Azat River Gorge, the temple offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and the famous “Symphony of Stones.” Its classical columns and intricate basalt construction beautifully reflect ancient craftsmanship and Armenia’s connection to both pagan and Hellenistic traditions. Today, Garni stands as a symbol of Armenia’s pre-Christian heritage — a rare glimpse into the country’s ancient past, where history, architecture, and nature blend into a truly inspiring scene.

Khor Virap-Etchmiadzin-Zvartnots-Departure
  • Khor Virap

    1 hours 30 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    The Khor Virap Monastery is one of the most sacred and visited pilgrimage sites in Armenia. Located in the Ararat Valley, it offers a breathtaking view of Mount Ararat, the biblical resting place of Noah’s Ark, and holds deep spiritual and historical significance. According to tradition, Saint Gregory the Illuminator was imprisoned here for 13 years in a deep underground dungeon before converting King Trdat III and leading Armenia to become the world’s first Christian nation in 301 AD. Today, visitors can descend into the very pit where Gregory was held and experience the profound sense of faith and endurance that this site represents. Khor Virap’s peaceful setting and panoramic scenery make it a highlight of any journey through Armenia.
  • The Churches of Echmiatsin and the Archaeological Site of Zvartnots

    3 hoursAdmission Ticket Included
    The city of Ejmiatsin (Vagharshapat) is the spiritual center of the Armenian Apostolic Church and home to some of the country’s oldest and most revered religious monuments. The main Mother See of Holy Ejmiatsin, founded in the early 4th century, is considered the world’s first Christian cathedral and serves as the residence of the Catholicos of All Armenians. Nearby, the St. Hripsime and St. Gayane churches complete this sacred ensemble, each reflecting Armenia’s early Christian heritage and timeless architectural grace. Just outside the city lies the Zvartnots Cathedral, a 7th-century architectural masterpiece and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Though now in ruins, its circular design and majestic setting with Mount Ararat in the background continue to inspire awe — a symbol of Armenia’s golden age of faith and art.
