Armenia captivates visitors with its ancient monasteries, Soviet architecture, and stunning mountainous terrain. Arriving in Yerevan feels like uncovering a city lost in time, as the rose-hued capital balances progressive nightlife with relics from its Soviet past. Beyond  Yerevan, centuries-old monasteries like Tatev and Geghard stand regally  amid dramatic canyon landscapes. Winding roads lead high into the mountains to secluded Lori and Dilijan, forested towns renowned for their healing mineral waters. The stark deserts and extinct volcanoes of  Vayots Dzor transport you to another world entirely. Armenia’s welcoming locals, rich history, and natural wonders never fail to enchant visitors seeking an off-the-beaten-path gem.
