Khor Virap, Areni, Noravank, Goris (natten over), Tatev, Karahunj (Zorats Karer)
Beskrivelse
Den første destination på vores tur er et af de steder, der skal ses i Armenien - Khor Virap. Næste stop vil være klosteret Noravank, som går tilbage til XIII-XIV århundreder. Efter at have besøgt disse to klostre tager vi til Goris for at overnatte. Efter morgenmaden besøger vi Karahunj Observatory, også kendt som Zorats Karer eller Zorats Kar er en megalitisk sammensætning af bronzealdergrave og over 220 stående sten. Den næste destination er et andet berømt monument af middelalderlig armensk arkitektur - Tatev-klosteret, som blev bygget i det 9.-13. århundrede. I oversættelse fra det gamle armenske (grabar) betyder "tatev" "give vinger". Takket være konstruktionen af Wings of Tatev, den længste svævebane i verden (5,7 km), er komplekset blevet et af de mest besøgte steder i Armenien. På vej tilbage til Jerevan vil vi have et kort stop i Areni vingård, hvor du har mulighed for at smage armensk vin og stifte bekendtskab med historien om vinfremstilling i Armenien.

This trip was very enjoyable. I opted for a private tour over 2 days and one night. I paid extra for the accommodation. Arthur started the trip by saying, “It’s your trip & I’m here to make it a good trip for you”. Arthur was a safe driver and he put my needs first. I could sense he enjoyed his job, wanted the best trip for me and was passionate about Armenia. Arthur used his experience & moved the itinerary around at my agreement, so I would have the best experience based on the weather.This was particularly the case with using the Tatev Cableway. Arthur, looked after my welfare and as a solo mature aged traveller I appreciated his care and concern. Overall Arthur put me first and this attitude enhanced my trip. I loved the view of Mt Ararat from Khor Virap monastery. Arthur suggested the Areni Wine Festival was on that day and asked if I wanted to go. I spent just over an hour there, and watched students in traditional dress doing Armenian dancing. This was a surprise & a highlight! I was impressed with the rugged and rocky scenery on the drive. The Tatev Cableway was a wonderful sight re a gorge area.The Monastery was interesting. Next day I visited Karahunge, a Bronze Age observatory made up of a circle of Standing Stones. This was amazing (read up on it before you go, cos there are no English interpretive signs). Next was a visit to Shaki Falls, at my request, cos I’m allergic to alcohol and couldn’t do the wine tasting ant Areni that was advertised. The falls were beautiful. Finally we drove through this spectacular red craggy rock gorge to see Norovank Monastery. I achieved all of the program and returned to Yerevan at 4.30pm on the second day. I had a delightful time, especially due to Arthur, my driver. Thanks
