Breakfast at the hotel. Following breakfast, we will begin our walking tour of the city of Yerevan. Yerevan, the capital of the Republic of Armenia, is a lively metropolis with an ancient history dating back to 782 BC. Hills surround a valley where Yerevan sits. In the southwest part, it overlooks the Ararat plain, dominated by Mount Ararat, covered with perennial snow. Take a Yerevan Panoramic City tour, which includes visiting the main monuments of Yerevan, such as Republic Square, Opera Square with Swan Lake, Northern Avenue, Abovyan Street, home to the “Armenian Belle Epoque” buildings, and the Cascade complex, which features a grand staircase and terraced gardens. Enjoy the panoramic views of the city from the top.

We continue our discovery with a walk in the Vernissage, the arts and crafts market where you can not only admire the works of different artisans, including stone and wooden crosses, handmade cloth dolls, ceramic plates and glasses, and other local handicrafts, but also attend the display of silver and gold jewels, Armenian rugs, embroidery, books, and paintings of Armenian painters. The rest of the day you could spend exploring the city at your leisure. You can visit museums, enjoy shopping, or try local cuisine. Overnight in a hotel in Yerevan.

Breakfast at the hotel. This day, we are heading towards the village of Garni. On the way to Garni, there is an unremarkable arch. The arch is dedicated to the famous Armenian poet Yeghishe Charents, who loved and admired the beauty of Mount Ararat. The place was chosen accurately: from the arch, you will have the best view of Mount Ararat. Then, we will continue to discover one of the wonders of the Hellenistic era, the fortress and the temple of Garni, which is situated on the top of a well-protected triangular promontory erected in 77 AD. We continue to visit the 13th-century Geghard Monastery, the only rock-carved monastery in Armenia. The name originates from the relic of a fragment of the spear that pierced Christ’s side on the cross.

After a full day of exploration, return to Yerevan and stop in the Victory Park with the statue of “Mother Armenia,” from where there is a fantastic view of the city of Yerevan. The park is vast and includes an artificial lake, an amusement park with various merry-go-rounds, outdoor cafes and restaurants, the Mother Armenia Monument, and the Mother Armenia Museum. Afterward, free time in the dried fruit and spices market, a world where you can get intoxicated with the magic of colors and perfumes. Overnight in Yerevan.

We will visit the peninsula of Sevan, where there is also a beautiful panorama of the lake. Lake Sevan is also famous for its endemic fish type, the Sevan trout, Salmo Ishkhan. We will continue our journey towards the town of Diligian, the “Armenian Switzerland,” and will visit Sharabeyan Street, the street of the craftsmen of the city.
