Day 4 in Armenia🇦🇲. Exploring Kotayk Province 🏛️+ Azat Reservoir💧
#armenia #travelitinerary #visitarmenia #travelguide #roadtrip
• Charents’ Arch
A scenic viewpoint with a famous view of Mount Ararat, built in 1957 in honour of Armenian poet Yeghishe Charents, who wrote beautifully about Ararat and Armenia.
Unfortunately, Ararat decided to take the day off. 😂

• Garni Temple 🏛️
A 1st-century pagan temple and the only surviving Greco-Roman colonnaded building in Armenia.
🎟️ Entrance: 1,500 AMD per person
From Garni, you can spot the next stop down in the gorge below: the Symphony of Stones

• Symphony of Stones 🪨
A spectacular natural formation of basalt columns, which resembles the pipes of a giant organ, a musical instrument, hence the name.
🎟️ Entrance: Only 300 AMD per person

• Armenian Lavash & Gata 🫓
On our way to the next stop, we noticed a place where they make fresh lavash and Armenian gata right on the spot.
They also offer masterclasses for only 1,000 AMD, which would be a great experience if you’d like to try making them yourself.
We skipped the masterclass but couldn’t resist the warm, freshly baked lavash and gata and they were so good! 🤤

• Geghard Monastery ⛪️
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Armenia’s most incredible monasteries. What makes Geghard truly special is that several of its churches and tombs are carved directly into the mountain rock. 🤯
💡 DON’T miss these two things:
🪨 Make a wish: Just before entering the monastery, look to the left for the small openings in the stone wall. According to local tradition, if you make a wish and successfully throw a small stone into one of them, your wish will come true. ✨
💧 Try the holy spring: Inside the rock-cut part of the monastery, you’ll find a spring and its water is traditionally believed to have healing properties. Some visitors use it on areas of the body where they have pain or discomfort.
💡Bring some cash if you’d like to buy local products such as gata, swee
