What you can expect

  • Experience the best of southern Armenia on this full-day guided tour combining history, nature, and local culture.
    Your journey begins at Khor Virap Monastery, one of Armenia’s most important pilgrimage sites. This is where Gregory the Illuminator was imprisoned for 13 years, before converting King Tiridates III to Christianity in 301 AD, marking Armenia as the first Christian country in the world. From the monastery grounds, you will enjoy one of the closest and most spectacular views of the majestic Mount Ararat – a truly unforgettable moment.
    Next, travel to the breathtaking Noravank Monastery, a 13th–14th century architectural masterpiece hidden among dramatic red cliffs. The unique landscape and the monastery’s intricate stone carvings make this one of the most photogenic and spiritually powerful sites in Armenia.
    The tour continues to the spa town of Jermuk, famous for its fresh mountain air, healing mineral waters, and scenic surroundings. Here you will visit the iconic Jermuk Waterfall (“Mermaid’s Hair”), cascading from a height of around 70 metres. According to local legend, the waterfall is connected to a tragic love storey, adding a romantic touch to its natural beauty.
    Nearby, you will also explore the natural rock formation known as the Arch of Wishes (Arch of Dreams), where locals believe that wishes made beneath it may come true.
    You will then enjoy a scenic ride on the Jermuk Ropeway, ascending to approximately 2,000 metres above sea level. From the top, take in panoramic views of mountains, forests, and the peaceful Jermuk valley – a perfect moment for photos and relaxation.
    At the end of the day, you will visit Areni village, the heart of Armenian winemaking traditions. Here, you will enjoy a guided wine tasting experience, sampling different varieties of local wines, including those made from the famous indigenous Areni grape. You will also explore the wine cellar and learn more about Armenia’s ancient winemaking heritage.
    This tour is carefully designed to give you a perfect balance of history, culture, nature, and authentic local experiences. Whether you are a first-time visitor or returning to explore more, this journey offers unforgettable landscapes, rich stories, and lasting memories.
