Let's take an unforgettable group tour to Garni - the temple which towers over a triangular cape, is the unique survived example of heathen culture in Armenia. It is a blend of Greco-Roman and Armenian styles. After adopting Christianity in 301 the pagan temple lost its significance and the fortress of Garni became the summer residence of the kings. Nowadays the ruins of the royal palace and the bathroom with a stunning mosaic work can be found near the temple.
Then we will continue the trip to Geghard Monastery - the unsurpassable masterpiece of the 13th century Armenian architecture. Some of the churches of the complex are masterfully hewn in a huge rock. Due to its construction Geghardavank serves the best place for singing spiritual songs. The complex is rich in subtle sculptural embellishments and many striking khachkars (cross-stones).
During our tour you will have an opportunity to take part in Lavash Baking ceremony where you will be introduced the process of backing armenian national bread - Lavash.
After being inspired by the beauty of Rocky Armenia we will be back to Yerevan.
