Armenia Day Trip
Armenia Day Trip
We'll meet at the Avlabari metro station in Tbilisi at 8:30 am. From there we'll head to the border to see the most amazing places in Armenia, one of the first Christian civilizations in the world.
First, we'll go to Ajtala Monastery. As soon as we arrive, we'll step back in time to the 13th century admiring its exterior and its interior. The frescoes it houses are some of the best examples of Byzantine art that can be seen. Furthermore, from here we'll see the many caves and copper foundation factories that Ajtala possesses. You'll be surprised!
The next stop on this tour will be the Haghpat Monastery, considered a masterpiece of medieval religious architecture. The monastery complex dates back to the 10th century and has survived earthquakes and foreign invasions, creating an aura of mystery that we'll discover as we walk through the area.
Around 1:30 pm, we'll stop for lunch at a local family's house. This will be a great chance to sample traditional cuisine!
At 4 pm we'll take you to Sanahin Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as Haghpat. Before arriving, we'll visit another copper foundation factory that will take you back to the time of the Soviet Union. A final stop on the tour will be the Mikoyan Brothers Museum, where you can see the original MiG 21 aircraft.
The tour will end in Tbilisi at 7:30 pm.
