To the northeast of Sanahin, cradled by the lofty peaks of Lori, stretches the monastery of Haghpat – a masterpiece of Armenian medieval art, where stone speaks the language of centuries. Founded in the 10th century under King Ashot III of the Bagratuni dynasty, it rose at a time when Armenia blossomed in culture and spirit. The weathered walls of Haghpat still carry the resonance of that golden age, bearing silent witness to the passage of time.

Not far from Haghpat, in the heart of the Lori region, rises Sanahin Monastery – a true marvel of Armenia's medieval architecture. Its construction began in the second half of the 10th century, during the reign of King Ashot III and from the very beginning the complex was conceived as both a spiritual and educational center.

3. Odzun Monastery

Odzun Monastery, set high on a plateau in Armenia's Lori region, rises majestically above the gorges like a stone witness to the dawn of Christianity in the land. The main church of the complex is a rare type of domed basilica, giving it exceptional architectural significance. Though written records of its foundation are scarce, scholars confidently date the structure to the 6th century – a time when Christianity was firmly taking root in Armenia.

Now we’re home, but we’ve recharged our souls with Armenia’s warmth for the whole year. Thank you to every single resident of this wonderful, welcoming country, young and old. We wish you peace and prosperity.
But we especially want to praise the travel company HyurService. The staff are excellent, qualified, and caring. The excursions and itineraries are fascinating and informative. Thanks to you, we’ve become interested in Armenian literature and music. The company has wonderful managers and drivers, whom you can trust not only with your holiday, but with your life and your children.
The guides at HyurService are true human capital! Treasure them! Meeting David Astroyan left an indelible impression on us—what energy, knowledge, and desire to share with guests he has!
But there is one more person. A ray of Armenian sunshine in our hearts—Anahit Aslanyan. A very warm, responsive, and tactful person, with a broad and varied outlook. She knows not only Armenian culture but Russian culture too, so she easily draws clear parallels in her stories. Our group liked her so much that we asked her to take us on another private tour as well.
We’re sure the other guides at the travel company are top-notch too. So we recommend that everyone use HyurService!
