Itinerary
-
Virap, Hin Areni Winery, Noravank & Areni Cave From Yerevan
- Make the first stop at Khor Virap Monastery, located about an hour’s drive away from Yerevan's capital. The monastery offers an amazing view of Armenia’s defining symbol – the majestic Ararat.
- Proceed to the Areni cave (Bird’s Cave) with your Armenia tour guide. It also contains evidence of elaborate burial rituals and agricultural practices.
- Explore Noravank, one of the gems of medieval Armenian architecture, nestled high among the stunning brick-red cliffs at the end of the Gnishik Canyon. Here, you will see the only depiction of God, the Father in Armenia, which is just as astonishing as the face of Jesus Christ that appeared on the dome of the Church’s narthex.
- Savour and even purchase Armenia’s renowned Areni wine, made from the oldest grape variety in the whole world. The wine is available in several wineries in the actual town of Areni itself, where you will make a stop before finishing the trip. Also, taste the most famous dishes of traditional Armenian cuisine.
