Embark on a captivating day trip through Armenia’s most celebrated cultural landmarks and scenic natural wonders. Starting from Yerevan, your route journeys east into the Kotayk Province before heading north towards the striking waters of Lake Sevan.
Your first stop is Garni Temple, the only standing Greco-Roman colonnaded building in Armenia and the former Soviet region. Built in the 1st century AD and dedicated to the sun god Mihr, the site overlooks the deep Azat River gorge.
Descending into the Garni Gorge, you will witness the famous Symphony of Stones. This astonishing geological formation features massive vertical basalt columns hanging along the canyon cliff faces, resembling a majestic church organ.
Continue further into the canyon to reach Geghard Monastery, a unique UNESCO World Heritage site. Founded in the 4th century, parts of the monastic complex are directly hollowed out from the surrounding rock cliffs, famed for its ancient khachkars (stone crosses) and incredible acoustic chambers.

Ascend the stairs on the Sevan Peninsula to reach Sevanavank Monastery, founded in 874 AD by Princess Mariam. The black volcanic stone churches offer sweeping views over the expansive blue waters of the lake before your return drive to Yerevan.
