What you can expect

The tour starts from the capital city of Armenia, Yerevan before travelling to the first stop of the day, The Ark of Charents. The place where you can admire the most beautiful view of Ararat. The monument is dedicated to the famous poet Yeghishe Charents.

Next, you'll visit the Temple of Garni which was built in 77 AD, is the only remaining Greco-Roman temple in Armenia and the former Soviet Union. The temple is constructed of grey basalt. It is supported by a total of twenty-four 6.54-metre high columns of the Ionic order: six in the front and back and eight on the sides. The 24 columns symbolise the 24 hours.

Next, you'll explore the gorge of “Symphony of stones.” It is said that this natural monument is the result of the collapse of the volcanic rocks. The monument consists of huge paradoxically symmetric hexagon and pentagon basalt columns (nearly 50 metres high). These stones hanging against the gravity resemble an organ, which explains why it is also referred to as “Basalt Organ Pipes”.

Your final stop will be the monastery of Geghard. The interiors of the temples and cells richly decorated with ornaments and bas-reliefs, the tombs of aristocratic families and other masterpieces of underground architecture have brought Geghard the glory of one of the most significant historical monuments, designated by Unesco as World Heritage Site.
