Description

Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 7 hours
* Like many countries, Armenia used to be a pagan country. In the 1st century BC, Christianity began to spread in Armenia. Our first stop will be the pagan temple of Garni. On the way, we will make a stop at the Charents Arch. From this point, you can enjoy the best view of Mount Ararat, and you can take unforgettable photos. The Garni Temple itself or the Temple of the Sun is built in the Greek style. It seems impossible to create such a thing in ancient times. After exploring the temple, we will visit the locals, where we will take part in a master class on baking lavash in tandoor. Of course, you can try fresh lavash. Next, we will go to the rock monastery of St. Geghard. The name of the temple translates as holy spear. For a long time, a spear was kept here, according to legend, which pierced the crucified Christ.    The temple is located in a picturesque place — in the gorge of the Gokht River. There is a cold spring in the temple. It is believed that this water cures many diseases and gives beauty. An unforgettable experience from the tour is guaranteed!
