Stop At: Garni Temple, Geghard Monastery Road H3, Garni Armenia

Garni is the only pagan temple in the territory of Armenia, dating back to the 1st century A.D. Nearby the temple there are the ruins of intricate mosaic baths. The view of the Garni Gorge is simply breathtaking. Along the sides of the gorge are cliff walls of well-preserved basalt columns, carved out by the river Goght. This portion of the Nature’s masterpiece is typically referred to as the “Symphony of the Stones”.

Duration: 40 minutes

Stop At: Charent's Arch, Garni Armenia

The Arch of Charents was erected in 1957 and named in honour of one of the most famous Armenian poets Eghishe Charents. They say, Charents loved this place and used to visit it frequently. The arch itself is just an arch, you may even wonder, why this place is a “must-see”. But from the Charents Arch opens a breathtaking view on mount Ararat, probably one of the most stunning views of the Biblical mountain.

Duration: 30 minutes
