Description
This trip takes you to Khor Virap, with gorgeous views of Mt. Ararat. Visit old winery for wine tasting, explore the ancient Areni Cave, and marvel at the breathtaking Tatev Monastery.
Although there are various historical landmarks in Armenia, the oldest and most well-known is probably the Biblical Mount Ararat. This tour promises spectacular views from the closest spot possible. The Khor Virap Monastery is located about an hour’s drive away from the capital Yerevan, and offers an amazing view of Armenia’s defining symbol – the majestic Ararat. The Monastery is one of the most sacred spots for Armenians around the world.
Areni-1 Cave, also included in the tour, is an ancient archaeological treasure. Here, you'll discover the earliest evidence of winemaking, dating back over 6,000 years. As we explore the cave, don't miss the remarkable discovery of ancient leather shoes, showcasing the craftsmanship of our ancestors.
Another place that cannot be missed whilst in Armenia is Tatev Monastery, which once was the educational and spiritual center of Armenia. It’s built on a high plateau in the Vorotan River gorge, and is surrounded by breathtaking mountains and dense forests. You can reach it by riding the world’s longest cableway, the Wings of Tatev. During your ride, you will enjoy a spectacular view over one of the most beautiful spots in Armenia (if not in the world).
As the finishing touch of this tour, you will be given the chance to taste and purchase Armenia’s renowned Areni wine.
