Beschrijving

"""De tour begint bij het Khor Virap klooster – met het meest adembenemende uitzicht op de Bijbelse berg Ararat. Het klooster heeft een aanzienlijk religieus en historisch belang - zicht waar Sint Gregorius de Verlichter gevangen zat en het christendom zijn start nam in Armenië. Deze reis gaat verder naar de Wijnstreek van Armenië. Vogels of Areni 1 grot staat bekend om de ontdekking van bewijs van verschillende uitgebreide begrafenisrituelen en landbouwpraktijken. De spannendste dingen die uit deze grot zijn ontdekt, zijn het oudste paar leren schoenen, bijna 5500 jaar oud en het wijnhuis van ongeveer 6100 jaar oud - het oudste bekende wijnhuis ter wereld. Noravank Klooster is een uniek middeleeuws Armeens architectonisch juweeltje met een twee verdiepingen tellende hoofdkerk. Het klooster is omgeven door hoge kliffen en diepe valleien van rode en oranje vulkanische materialen. Tot slot een stop bij Areni dorp.

Reisroute

50 min

Het Khor Virap-klooster ligt op ongeveer een uur rijden van de hoofdstad Jerevan en biedt een prachtig uitzicht op het bepalende symbool van Armenië – de majestueuze Ararat. “Khor Virap” betekent “diepe kerker”, en werd gebouwd van de plaats van de voormalige koninklijke gevangenis, gelegen op de historische site van Artashat. Het was deze gevangenis waarin ze Gregorius de Verlichter, de eerste Armeense Catholicos, een hele 13 jaar vasthielden. Daarom is het geen verrassing dat deze plek een van de heiligste plekken is voor Armeniërs over de hele wereld. Het is ook het dichtstbijzijnde punt bij de berg Ararat vanuit Armenië; heel vaak wordt deze plek de nummer 1 reden om ons land te bezoeken!

45 min

Noravank is een van de pareltjes van de middeleeuwse Armeense architectuur. De kerk heeft een kenmerkende constructie van twee verdiepingen. Het beschikt over een unieke (zeldzaam voor Armeense architectuur) tweede verdieping, toegankelijk via een smalle trap, die de verbinding tussen het aardse en het goddelijke symboliseert. Omgeven door hoge kliffen en prachtige rode rotsen, biedt deze oude site niet alleen spirituele betekenis, maar ook adembenemende uitzichten. Hier ziet u de enige echte afbeelding van God de Vader in Armenië.

Toegang niet inbegrepen30 min

De tour brengt je naar de Vogelgrot. In 2008 ontdekten archeologen een aantal van de oudste artefacten ter wereld, waaronder een leren schoen en een wijnmakerij. Het bevat ook bewijs van uitgebreide begrafenisrituelen en landbouwpraktijken.

Toegang niet inbegrepen30 min

U krijgt de kans om de beroemde Armeense Areni-wijn te proeven en te kopen bij wijnmakerij Ar-Areni.

Perfect Day Tour in Armenia with Nektar

I had an amazing day with Nektar as my guide! She’s incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience smooth and memorable. We visited Khor Virap, explored the Birds’ Cave, enjoyed a delicious traditional Armenian lunch, admired the stunning Noravank Monastery, and even had a great wine tasting to finish the tour. Everything was perfectly organized, and Nektar’s passion for her country really shows. Highly recommend her to anyone visiting Armenia

Great day tour!

I went for a day tour with my couple. We found a well organized company and a guide eager to tell us every detail. They gave us a local candy and cold water, and brought us to eat something to a beautiful restaurant with good price. We recommend this company a lot!! :)

Excellent trip to Armenia

I’d like to extend our warmest appreciation to Armine and Vahan for a wonderful trip. It was such an amazing experience. I really commend Armine for her dedication to share the rich culture of Armenia. And to Vahan, for driving us safely during the entire trip. We just got a short stay in Armenia, but definitely, Armine made it very worth it and memorable trip. We enjoyed the breathtaking views going to Noravank. I think of all the monasteries that we’ve visited, Norabank was one of the best, the breathtaking views was just so extra ordinary.

Excellent introduction to Armenia

With Yerani, we went on a tour in June that included a visit to the Hor Virap Monastery, which offers chic views of Ararat, the Bird Cave, the Novarank Monastery, lunch in a very beautiful location and a winery with tasting. We had guide Naira B very professional, insanely interesting storytelling and knows the history of the country to the minutiae. Bus seating 16, with internet, driver Arthur O. is very attentive and drives beautifully. Everything is very compact, informative, well-allocated time, everyone had time to watch and enjoy the beautiful views. It was our first encounter with Armenia and we were delighted. If we go on tours we'll only book here

Armenia is one of the travelling destination in my wish list. Thanks a lot for the team Yerani travels to make it true. Miss. Hasmik Babalaryan and Sushan (our guides) gave us a complete sketch about the places we visited there. Miss. Hasmik really entertained us by giving activities and all. I am sure, this trip will always be in my heart. Thanks again! With Love and wishes Anas Game street, UAE 🇦🇪

Great experience!

The tour and the guide were great, we really enjoyed everything. The places we saw were beautiful and full of history. The guide (Ani) knew the difference between facts, and fiction and myths. She always had something interesting to answer for a lot of questions we had and overall was very nice. We were even surprised that not only the car had wifi spot, but that it was working well throughout the trip.

Book Now. Excellent Tours + Superb Guide (Nareh) and Driver (Marat).

Our family of six embarked on multiple single-day tours with Yerani Travel. These tours were, collectively, among the best experiences of our eight-week visit to Yerevan. The Yerani office staff communicated very well with us and were accommodating and flexible. Responses were prompt and polite. The vehicles were clean, comfortable, in excellent mechanical condition, and (for you other westerns who also will not travel without seatbelt on) all had operational seatbelts in every seat. This had been an issue with other transportation in Armenia, where seatbelts are often inoperable or removed, and in any case are generally not used.The stops (for dining, breaks, etc) recommended by our guide and driver were all excellent. Our tour guide, Nareh, and driver, Marat, are both a credit to Yerani travel. We derived as much enjoyment from their companionship as we did from the sites we visited. I recommend that you request them for your own tours, which you may do when booking the tour online or over the phone. Nareh is the best guide we could have asked for. In addition to working for Yerani, she is a researcher (cultural anthropologist, I believe) at a museum in Yerevan. She was able to provide excellent, in depth responses to our questions, and provided us with much additional insight into the history of the country and the specific locations. Further, she communicated very well and tailored our tours to our specific interests. She even sang for us, briefly but beautifully, to demonstrate the acoustics in the choir room at one of the monastaries. Marat is a good man and a good driver. Gentlemanly and attentive to our family members and a pleasure to travel with. Further, in a region where most westerners will find the driving habits to be concerning, Marat was capable and cautious. We felt safe with him. When we return to visit Armenia again later this year, we will consider only Yerani for our tour and transfer needs. We recommend them highly.
