Welcome to Armenia! This small but mighty country is full of wonders, from its stunning mountain scenery to its fascinating ancient history.
Begin your journey in the capital city of Yerevan, a bustling and vibrant city with a rich cultural heritage.

Be sure to try some of the delicious local cuisine, such as khorovats (BBQ) or basturma (air-dried beef).

Enjoy breathtaking views of Lake Sevan, the largest lake in the Caucasus region.

Finally, pay your respects at one of Armenia’s most sacred sites—Garni Temple. Built in 77AD, it is the only Greco-Roman style temple still standing in Armenia today. Nearby are the stunning basalt cliffs of Geghard Monastery,
