Itinerary
Charents Arch is located near Yerevan, between the pagan temple of Garni and Geghard Christian monastery complex in the village of Vokhchaberd.
The pagan temple of Garni was built in the second half of the 1st century by King Trdat III. This is the only pagan temple, which has been preserved on the territory of Armenia.
The monument consists of huge paradoxically symmetric hexagon and pentagon basalt columns (nearly 50 meters high).
Geghard Monastery is one of the greatest medieval architectural structures in Armenia. Geghard is completely hollowed out in a cave, it is also called a “cave monastery”.
The monastery complex Sevanavank is located on the peninsula of Sevan. In 305, it was founded by St. Gregory the Illuminator, who built the church on the place of a pagan temple.

The tour of Armenia left just incredible impressions! The route is perfectly conceived, from the grandeur of the pagan Garni to the mystical atmosphere of the rock monastery of Gegard. The real visual delight was the Symphony of Stones - these natural basalt columns look just alien. And ending the day in azure Sevan with its fresh air was the perfect point in the journey. Thank you very much to our guide Violette. He is a true professional who truly loves his country. Listening to it is a pleasure: the information is presented easily, with interesting facts and a great sense of humor. Violet is very attentive to the details and comfort of the group, thanks to her trip was conducted in the most spirited and friendly atmosphere possible.

Excellent worth visiting . Especially in winter with snow this have fantastic views. Really worth for site seeing . But site seeing during winter caution to be made for wearing proper winter clothes. There is a best restaurant in front of Garni Temple “Vitrage” worth having food.

Today we were on an individual tour: Arch of Charentz, Temple of Garni, Symphony of Stones or Gorge of Garni, Monastery complex Gegard. We really enjoyed it. And the weather was lucky, it was cloudy, but still managed to admire Ararat through the Charentz Arch. Very comfortable tour duration - 4 hours, what you need for a tour with a child. Special thanks to our driver, Rudolf Poghosyan!

The trip was great! 5/5 We were free to explore by ourselves with no tour guide (our choice). Managed to see a bunch of sites in 1 day. Driver Bagrat was great, and super accommodating!
