- Garni Temple - The Garni Temple, dating back to 77 A.D., is the first destination and the only remaining temple in the entire post-Soviet region. It elegantly stands on a high plateau with a view of the Azat River Gorge. Visitors can also explore the Roman bathhouse, featuring a mysterious mosaic crafted from 30,000 pieces of natural stone, and the remnants of the 3rd-century royal palace.
- Garni Gorge - Garni Gorge is a breathtaking natural wonder situated in Armenia, close to the village of Garni. It is famously known as the “Symphony of Stones” due to its distinctive rock formations that create a stunning array of colors and shapes.
- Please note that visits to the Symphony of Stones are dependent on weather conditions.
- The Monastery of Geghard - The tour continues to the Geghard Monastic Complex. Known in English as the “Monastery of the Holy Lance,” it is named after the lance used by Longinus to pierce Jesus, which was later brought to Armenia and preserved in the Geghard Monastery for five centuries. The most remarkable feature is the architect’s skill in carving the church directly into solid rock while adhering to all the principles of Armenian architecture.
