Our first stop of this tour is near Charent’s Arch, named in honor of Armenian poet Yeghishe Charents, who frequented this spot and loved it dearly. Next, we will visit the Monastic complex of Geghard, which holds great religious significance. St. Geghard is known for the lance used by the Roman centurion to pierce Jesus after his crucifixion, which was later brought to Armenia and kept at the monastery for five centuries. The complex, constructed in the 13th century during Armenia’s Golden Age of architecture, is a stunning example of Armenian architecture, with churches built into solid rock. Geghard Monastery is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Garni Temple, built in 77 AD, is another historical site of our tour. The temple sits gracefully on a high plateau overlooking the Azat river gorge, surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. The nearby Greek-Roman bathhouse, featuring a mosaic made of 30,000 natural stones, and the ruins of the royal palace, dating back to the 3rd century AD, are also fascinating to explore. After visiting the temple, we will take a short walk to a nearby cozy local restaurant that offers an amazing view of the temple. Here, you can relax and take part in a master-class on tasting freshly baked lavash, traditional Armenian flatbread.
