Day 2 – Yerevan HTL – Garni Temple – Geghard Monastery – Sevan Lake – Yerevan Overnight
Breakfast.
Visit Garni village, famous for its Hellenistic pagan temple of the 1st century. It’s the only pagan temple that survived after the Christianization of Armenia. The place is particularly famous for its nice landscapes and the extraordinary view opening to the gorge and surrounding mountains.
Visit the Geghard Monastery (4th c. A.D. and a UNESCO World Heritage site with enhanced protection.) It contains a number of churches and tombs, most of them cut into the rock, which illustrate the very peak of Armenian medieval architecture. The complex of medieval buildings is set into a landscape of great natural beauty, surrounded by towering cliffs at the entrance to the Azat Valley. The spot is the most famous among the locals for the baptism ceremonies and weddings so very often you will be an ad hoc participant of the traditional events when visiting the site.
Scenic drive along the pearl of Armenia, Lake Sevan, which covers over 10% of the country’s territory. Peninsula is the regular stop with its spectacular view opening to the Lake. Some small buildings from Soviet style architecture will be worth seeing by quick stops as they represent the architectural solutions of the 20th century.
