Itinerary

Yerevan main sights, Photo Atelier Marashlyan

1. Yerevan (main sights)

150-180 min Details: Yerevan (main sights)

Yerevan, the capital of Armenia and one of the oldest cities in the world, was founded in 782 BC, making it 29 years older than Rome. Its story begins with the fortress of Erebuni, built by King Argishti I and today the ancient ruins coexist in harmony with modern buildings and lively streets. The city is poetically called the "pink" capital, since most of its buildings are made of volcanic tuff in warm shades of pink that glow beautifully at sunset.

2. Photo Atelier Marashlyan

50-60 min Details: Photo Atelier Marashlyan

Founded in 2013 by Emma Marashlyan, "Marashlyan" Photo Studio became the first professional studio in Armenia specializing in photo sessions with vintage and traditional Armenian costumes, known as taraz. Here the atmosphere of the past is carefully recreated and each outfit reflects the cultural heritage of a particular region of the country.
