Khor Virap, Areni, Noravank, Goris (övernattning), Tatev, Karahunj (Zorats Karer)
Beskrivning
Den första destinationen för vår resa är en av de platser som måste ses i Armenien - Khor Virap. Nästa stopp blir klostret Noravank, som går tillbaka till XIII-XIV århundraden. Efter att ha besökt dessa två kloster åker vi till Goris för övernattning. Efter frukosten besöker vi Karahunj Observatory, även känd som Zorats Karer eller Zorats Kar är en megalitisk sammansättning av bronsåldersgravar och över 220 stående stenar. Nästa destination är ett annat berömt monument av medeltida armenisk arkitektur - Tatev-klostret, som byggdes på 800-1200-talen. I översättning från den gamla armeniska (grabar) betyder "tatev" "ge vingar". Tack vare byggandet av Wings of Tatev, den längsta linbanan i världen (5,7 km), har komplexet blivit en av de mest besökta platserna i Armenien. På väg tillbaka till Jerevan kommer vi att ha ett kort stopp i Areni vingård, där du har möjlighet att smaka på armeniskt vin och bekanta dig med historien om vinframställning 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
