Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
På vej til templet vil der være et kort stop ved Charentsbuen, hvor du får mulighed for at nyde et af de bedste øjeblikke i din rejse til Armenien - en malerisk udsigt over det bibelske bjerg Ararat.
Garni Temple (77 e.Kr.) er det eneste stående hedenske tempel i hele det post-sovjetiske område. Templet står graciøst på et højt plateau med udsigt over Azat flodgrotten. Det er også hjemsted for det romerske badehus med den mystiske mosaik, lavet af 30.000 stykker natursten, samt ruinerne af det kongelige palads, der går tilbage til 3. århundrede e.Kr.
Garni Gorge er en fantastisk naturattraktion beliggende i Armenien, nær landsbyen Garni. Det er også kendt som "Symphony of Stones" på grund af dens unikke rockformationer, der skaber en smuk symfoni af farver og former. * Besøget på Stones Symphony er underlagt vejrforhold.
Klosterkomplekset i Geghard er et andet historisk sted inkluderet i denne daglige tur. Oversat til engelsk som "Kloster af den hellige Lance", henviser det til den lance, med hvilken Longinus pierced Jesus stadig hængende på korset, senere bragt til Armenien og holdt i Geghard kloster i 5 århundreder. Komplekset er en repræsentation af det 13. århundrede Armenien, som betragtes som den gyldne æra af landets arkitektur. Men den mest forbløffende del er arkitektens dyd, der skar kirken lige ind i den massive sten, mens man overvejer alle reglerne for armensk arkitektur.
Under dit ophold i Armenien, kan du simpelthen ikke gå glip af chancen for at besøge en af landets mest ikoniske vartegn - den fantastiske Sevan-søen. Beliggende i en højde på 1.900 meter over havets overflade og omgivet af et majestætisk bjergområde, er denne spektakulære sø et must-see. Du klatrer op til Sevan halvøen, hvor en betagende panoramaudsigt over søen venter dig fra toppen. Mens der, vil du have mulighed for at udforske Sevanavank kloster, som huser en af Armeniens mest udsøgte Amenaprkich (Alle Frelser) Khachkars. Denne bemærkelsesværdige korssten er blandt de 13 sjældneste i landet, der skildrer Jesus på en virkelig smuk måde.
Klosteret i Haghartsin går tilbage til det 10. - 14. århundrede. Navnet oversættes som "ørnens leg". Landskabet ligner noget et fantastisk kunstværk, med både klosteret og naturen omkring det, der giver en betagende udsigt. Refektoriet i Haghartsin betragtes som det største blandt armensk kirkearkitektur; det var en absolut nyskabelse af sin tid! Hvis du er nysgerrig efter hvorfor, er der intet bedre end at se det selv!
Dilijan er en malerisk by, ofte omtalt som "Switzerland of Armenia" på grund af sin fantastiske naturlige skønhed. Gå langs den ældste gade, Sharambeyan, vil du blive fanget af træhuse, hvoraf mange går tilbage til det 19. århundrede.
Turen tager dig derefter til det nordlige Armenien, hvor du vil være omgivet af smuk natur. Gennem byen Dilijan gør vi et stop ved klostret Gosh-Goshavank. Denne historiske kirke ligger i hjertet af naturen og den smukke landsby, som har samme navn. Mkhitar Gosh var en af de store intellektuelle kræfter på sin tid, "en ydmyg visdomsmand", der forfatter adskillige værker, herunder den første kodeks for civil og kanonisk lov, der blev brugt i både Storarmenien og Kilikien. Han ligger begravet i nærheden af kirken, som han selv byggede i 1188. Her vil du også se Pavghos (Poghos) Khachkar, der anses for at være det smukkeste "broderede" Khachkar (stenkors) i Armenien.

Communicating with Yerani Travel via WhatsApp to confirm our pickup was seamless. Our driver, Mr. Norik, arrived five minutes early in a spotless, new electric car. He was incredibly patient, polite, and welcoming. Even though he did not speak English, communication was effortless because the office provided him with a detailed itinerary, including durations for each attraction and drive times. We never felt rushed and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful sights at our own pace. Mr. Norik also took us to a restaurant that served delicious, reasonably priced food. Choosing this private tour gave us the freedom to enjoy each site to the fullest, and we highly recommend it.
