The first place on the itinerary is near the arch of Yeghishe Charents, a famous Armenian poet and activist. Moving forward, the areas we will cover include the Pagan temple of Garni and Geghard monastery. Garni temple is the only Pagan temple in the post-Soviet region. It is one of the higher levels in front of the Azat river gorge and was the summer accommodation for the former Armenian Kings. Today, the ruins present here will amaze you, and surprisingly it was also the home of a Roman bath house.
In contrast, Geghard Monastery is an excellent place that shows 13th-century Armenia. The architecture of this golden time is worth visiting. Here is some information about St. Geghard; it represents the well-known lance used in the Roman Centurion for piercing Jesus’ post-crucifixion. Moreover, this place got a place in UNESCO World Heritage.

The tour was excelent. Our guide, Hasmin, was very nice and understanding, and her explenations were informative and yet simple and understandable. We had enough time to walk around, look and take pictures and even to sit and drink tea, but still we got in time to all the sites.

Just completed this tour with Srbuhi of Khor Virap, Garni Temple and Geghard monastery. Srbuhi was very knowledgable and gave us some really interesting facts and information on history of Armenia. The trip was fun and included all of the sights we wanted to visit in Armenia. Would definitely recommend Yerani Travel to anyone visiting Armenia and Srbuhi as a tour guide!
