High in the embrace of Armenia's mountains lies Lake Sevan – the blue heart of the land, beating in harmony with the winds and the sun. Legend tells that once a green valley stretched here, until the heavens shed their tears, filling it with shimmering water as a priceless gift to humankind.

From the northwestern shore of Lake Sevan, a breathtaking panorama unfolds: a peninsula rises from the shimmering surface, crowned with ancient temples. Here, in 874, at the command of Queen Mariam, daughter of King Ashot Bagratuni, the Sevanavank Monastery was built – the spiritual guardian of Armenia's blue jewel.

Dilijan is a corner of Armenia where nature and silence weave a harmony that captivates every traveler. Nestled among emerald forests and gentle hills, the town stretches along the scenic valley of the Aghstev River, where the air carries the scent of pine and the freshness of mountain streams. The national park's unique pearls are two beautiful sights hidden in the forests: Lakes Parz and Gosh, surrounded by shrubs and trees that have inspired numerous folk tales and shelter the quiet life of wild animals.

4. Haghartsin Monastery

Hidden deep within the leafy forests of Tavush, Haghartsin Monastery seems as though it has stepped straight out of an ancient manuscript, where stone walls and nature blend into a single, harmonious whole. Founded between the 10th and 13th centuries, it stood for centuries as both a spiritual refuge and a cultural beacon, drawing monks, pilgrims and master craftsmen. The complex includes the churches of St. Gregory, St. Mary and St. Stephen, along with monastic cells and service buildings carefully woven into the mountainous landscape.

280 kilometers north of Yerevan stretches Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia – a city where the past and the present beat in the same vibrant rhythm. At its heart runs the Kura River, an artery that unites centuries, mirroring in its waters church domes, bridges and the sparkling lights of the metropolis. In its narrow alleys whispers of history can still be heard, while the wide avenues breathe with the pulse of a modern city.

High above the ancient city of Mtskheta, where the waters of the Kura and Aragvi rivers meet in an eternal embrace, a rocky cliff crowned by centuries of wind holds the Jvari Monastery – the "Holy Cross". Its walls preserve the memory of the distant 6th century, when, according to tradition, Saint Nino the Equal-to-the-Apostles erected a cross here to mark the triumph of the new faith over paganism. Legend says that a miraculous light shone from that cross, visible for miles around, guiding travelers not only to the city but to God Himself.

Ездили с компанией в Грузию из Армении, великолепный сервис, все детали поездки продуманны до мелочей. Гостиница и обеды выключены в стоимость тура и все высокого уровня. Экскурсовод Ерван великолепный оратор, любит своё дело, отлично владеет языками все очень подробно с любовью рассказал об Армении и Грузии, то что экскурсия проходила на 3 языках вносила только особый колорит. Водитель Иосиф мастер своего дела, аккуратно безопасно доставил нас в Грузию и обратно. Рекомендуем только с этой компанией в любую поездку.
