Introduction: 


Armenia is as old as time itself. It is the only country remaining from a 3,000 year old map of Anatolia. It became the world's first Christian country more than 1,700 years ago!


Situated at a cultural, historical, and religious intersection and located at the crossroads between Europe and Asia, in the southern Transcaucasus. There are too many things to be seen and experienced. The world's oldest churches, monasteries and boundless natural beauty. 


It is only a 3 hour flight from here!

Day 1 – Friday March 9th – Yerevan Explored.


Our flight will arrive in Yerevan at 10:00 AM. Upon arriving we will be transferred to our hotel in Yerevan and we will start our 1/2 day tour of the city. During this tour we will visit such places as:


Erebuni Museum – The museum built in 1975 to coincide with 2750th anniversary of Yerevan. It houses the remains of the fortress of Erebuni. That was built in 782 B.C. by the Urartian king Argishti the first


Tsitsernakaberd – The memorial-complex to the victims of the Armenian genocide towers over Tsitsernakaberd hill


Matenadaran – One of the world's most ancient libraries


Once the tour is done we'll be back in our hotel to check in and rest.

Garni Temple – Built in the year 100, this is a unique survived example of heathen culture in Armenia. It is dedicated it to the God of Sun.
