Vayots Dzor is a land where sun and stone have guarded the secret of wine for centuries and the village of Areni became the ancient key to that mystery. Deep within its caves, archaeologists uncovered the world's oldest winemaking complex, proof that grape and man were bound together on this land thousands of years ago. Since then, every vine of Areni seems to carry the memory of the ages, offering berries filled with the fragrance of ancient Armenia.

2. Shaki Waterfall

In the southern reaches of Armenia, not far from Sisian, lies a hidden jewel of Syunik – the Shaki Waterfall, a natural wonder that captivates from the very first glance. Nestled among rocky cliffs and green slopes, beneath the shade of ancient trees, streams of silver cascade down, filling the air with a soft roar and a refreshing coolness. Here, the same melody plays each day – the gentle music of water falling from above, as if it remembers the ancient songs of these mountains. Legend speaks of a beautiful maiden named Shaki who, fleeing her pursuers, leapt from the cliff into the rushing waters, which embraced her and forever kept her name.

3. Tatev Monastery

50-60 min Details: Tatev Monastery

Amid the rugged ridges of Zangezur, high above deep gorges and winding mountain roads, rises the Tatev Monastery – an unrivaled masterpiece of medieval Armenian architecture. Founded in the 9th century on the site of an ancient pagan sanctuary, it became both the spiritual and political heart of the Syunik principality. Perched on the very edge of a cliff, its stone walls merge seamlessly with the mountain massif, while its strategic position made it nearly unreachable for enemies.

4. Wings of Tatev Ropeway

10-15 min Details: Wings of Tatev Ropeway

On October 16, 2010, the solemn toll of bells echoed across the Tatev Valley, announcing not only the revival of the medieval monastery complex but also the inauguration of an extraordinary feat of engineering – the "Wings of Tatev" cableway. Stretching 5.7 km, this aerial link connects the village of Halidzor with the ancient monastery and holds the Guinness World Record as the longest reversible cableway on the planet.

Ездили на однодневную экскурсию на винный завод, водопад Шаки, Чёртов мост, Каменное озеро и Татев экскурсия надо сказать потрясающая, очень много красивых горных видов, незабываемый старинный комплекс монастыря Татев и, уж, очень впечатляющая и захватывающая дух канатная дорога! Огромное спасибо нашему гиду Ерванду за интересный рассказ о тех местах где мы побывали, за ознакомление с традициями Армении, за хорошую организацию и быстрый сбор туристов автобуса на каждых остановках, особое спасибо водителю Норику, который профессионально вёл автобус и виртуозно справлялся с серпантинами!
