Explore Armenia’s rich history, stunning landscapes, and architectural marvels on this day trip combining ancient pagan heritage, medieval Christian spirituality, and natural beauty.
Visit the Garni Temple, a 1st-century CE Hellenistic-style temple dedicated to the sun god Mihr, rebuilt in the 1970s after an earthquake. The only surviving pagan temple in Armenia, symbolizing the country’s pre-Christian era under King Tiridates I.
Next, head to the Garni Gorge and Symphony of the Stones, a dramatic canyon carved by the Azat River, famous for its hexagonal basalt columns (known as the "Symphony of the Stones").
Visit the Geghard Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site founded in the 4th century, partially carved into cliffs. Named after the Holy Lance (Geghard) that pierced Christ’s side, it is a masterpiece of medieval Armenian architecture blending spirituality and nature.
Finally, visit the amazing Azat Reservoire.
