Ancient temples, the valley and the master cooking class lavash

The aquaintance with central Armenia's sights starts with the monastery of Geghard.This cultural heritage object of UNESCO is situated in the valley of a mountain river.The monastery is so limited in its place,that it will be difficult  to find the ending of human creation and the beginning of the nature.The  monastery is carved in the rock and maybe because of this it has an amazing acoustics.
If there's not enough simple beauty contemplation for you, then you can fell it during hiking in the mouintains, from where a wonderful view to the monastery and to the valley will be opened.
Not far from the Christian monastery of Geghard stands the only survived pagan monument-the temple of Garni. Here you can see the ruins of an old fortress and bathroom.And the breathtaking view of Azat's valley won't leave you insensitive.
After lunch you will have a chance to admire the valley taking part in a hiking.The natural phenomenon, which you can see in the valley has simple scientific explanation-  it is frozen volcanic basalt stream.But actually it's a frozen simphony in the rock.
But you can decide to take part in Lavash making master-class(where else will you be able to take part in creating an object of the cultural heritage of UNESCO).

Acquaintance with the ancient Ejmiatsin and Zvartnots temple

This tour is more relaxing and flexible.
If we started our various tours in Armenia from Yerevan and continued in different areas of Armenia, during this tour every day we're going to return to Yerevan .Here you can find many activities for all tastes. Besides museum visits,you can go to the theatre, listen to jazz in a club, drink some wine in pleasant restaurants and pubs. In one word you will like our tour of Central Armenia.

During this trip some tours around Yerevan, Sevan,Ejmiacin and around some monasteries of the foothill of Aragats are waiting for you. And also tours to not less interesting places.

We can easily say that the Central part is the heart of Armenia, because exactly here rises the most powerful volcanoe Aragats, at the foothill of which a lot of megalithic fortresses and ruins of ancient cities are sheltered.Here is also situated the mystical plateu of Geghard and of course Lake Sevan. To  the neighbourhood of these places that aren't far from Yerevan we are going to visit during our trip.
