Itinerary
Meet and greet at the airport. Transfer to the hotel. Overnight at the hotel in Yerevan.
After breakfast at the hotel, we will have a morning walk in the pink city of Yerevan. This ancient city is 29 years older than Rome. We will start walking in the most pleasant Republic Square with Government buildings, History Museum and Marriott Hotel surrounding it. In the evening we can enjoy the colorful singing and dancing fountains. In case of desire we can visit a jewelry gallery, where we can buy exclusive jewelry. The jewels presented are executed in a single copy and are unique. Walking up one of the oldest streets in Yerevan – Abovyan Street – we will appear in the richest avenue in Yerevan – the Northern Avenue with many brand shops, luxurious cafes and restaurants. Our next stop – the Opera and Ballet House and the Swan Lake – face the Northern Avenue. We will enjoy our time in the fascinating weather of the sunny Yerevan while walking around Cascade Monument. If we walk up the “huge staircase” of 500 meters height and 50 meters width, we can enjoy the wonderful panorama of the city with the spectacular Opera House, Mount Ararat as well as the view to the whole city. We will then walk up the huge stairs to the Park of Freedom. Here the whole city seems to be at our hand. Magnificent view. The Blue Mosque in Yerevan will be our last stop today. This 18th century mosque was built by Iranians and it still functions. Transfer to the hotel. Overnight at the hotel in Yerevan.
After breakfast at the hotel, we will explore the top tourist attractions of Armenia and make the first stop at Garni Temple, where we will enjoy the astonishing view to the gorges all around.

Upon desire the guide will accompany us to the place called “Symphony of stones” in the gorge. Here we can have the opportunity to watch the process of baking Armenian thin bread (“lavash”) in the underground oven, called “tonir”.
