Arrival
at Yerevan Zvartnots international airport. Meet our local representative and transfer
to the hotel (30 minutes’ drive). Check-in to hotel, overnight stay at hotel.
Explore
Armenia's capital, Yerevan, and learn about the city's illustrious history,
heritage, and culture. We begin our tour with a visit to Erebuni's museum and
the ruins of the ancient fortress-city, which dates back to the 8th century BC.
We then proceed to the Tsitsernakaberd memorial on our way to the Cascade, a
massive limestone stairway that connects Yerevan's downtown area to the
Monument neighborhood. We'll have a beautiful view of the city and the gardens
at the bottom of this "Stairway to Heaven" as we reach the top.
Visit
two of Armenia's most popular historical landmarks, the Garni Fortress Complex
and the Geghard Monastery, to experience antiquity like never before.
The
tour begins in Garni, where we see the city's old stronghold complex, which
dates from the 3rd to 2nd centuries BC. Its crowning glory, a surprisingly
well-preserved temple about 2000 years old, stands magnificently atop this
cliff-perched fortification. We then head to nearby Geghard, a UNESCO-listed
medieval monastery surrounded by cliffs and partially carved out of the
adjacent mountain.
Breakfast
at hotel. Check out of the accommodation and make your way to Yerevan
International Airport. The journey continues with memories.
