Garni

Garni is a pagan temple located in Armenia. The architecture of Garni will take you to ancient Rome as it closely resembles the old Roman architecture. The temple itself was built on top of an Urartian temple and had the same floor dimensions as the temple of Sushi in Erebuni (5.05 X 7.98 meters). The Garni temple is dedicated to the sun goddess Mythra.
Garni was made out of perfect sacred geometry of the ancient days- it follows Pythagorean and Platonic theories of sacred geometry in its design.

Armenia is home to plenty of monasteries. The monasteries are set in a scenic backdrop which will take your breath away.

Khor Virap

Khor virap is located at the backdrop of Mt Ararat which makes a fantastic backdrop for a panorama view of the church. The locals believe that the mount Ararat protected the monastery against the strong earthquake during the ancient days.

Geghard Monastery

“Geghard” means spear and refers to the same spear that was used to pierce Christ after he was being crucified on the cross to check if he was still alive. Many pilgrims flock to these place to know about the spear, and hence it is renamed as Geghard monastery. The monastery is carved inside a rock mountain, and that is what makes this place unique from other churches.

Tatev monastery

The wings of Tatev holds the record for the longest nonstop reversible cable car. It is a 5.7 km cableway between Halidzor and the Tatev monastery in Armenia. To reach Tatev monastery you have to take this cable car ride. Tatev monastery is another picturesque church in Armenia. Reaching there itself is an adventure. Many people travel to Armenia only to visit Tatev monastery.

Areni winery

Areni Winery is one of Armenia’s main attractions for connoisseurs of vintage wines. It is located 110 km from Yerevan. Armenia is the home of Winemaking, so if you miss the winery for something else, it will be a huge loss.
