Touchdown in Yerevan sets off your journey, beginning with a cozy hotel check-in. As evening falls, dive into Yerevan's heart on a city tour that spans from the bustling Republic Square to the artsy vibes of Northern Avenue and the Opera. The Cascade awaits next, an outdoor marvel where modern art meets ancient views, including exclusive Fernando Botero sculptures. The day caps off with a visit to the Megerian carpet factory, where Armenian heritage weaves into stunning carpets.
Day two promises an adventure to Geghard Monastery, a UNESCO treasure carved into the Kotayk region's landscape, holding centuries of history and legend. Not far lies the Garni Temple, Armenia's lone guardian of Hellenistic paganism, surrounded by remnants of ancient glory. The day is peppered with a hands-on Lavash baking experience, before whisking you away to Tsaghkadzor, Armenia's welcoming ski haven, offering everything from cable car rides to snowy escapades.
The third day takes you to Vagharshapat, home to the Echmiadzin Cathedral, the soulful nucleus of the Armenian Apostolic Church, flanked by three historic churches commemorating virgin martyrs. The journey loops back to Yerevan for a peek into the Ararat brandy factory, revealing the secrets behind Armenia's cherished brandy, followed by tastings.
New Year's Eve in Yerevan unfolds with leisurely freedom, allowing you to soak in the festive atmosphere and prepare for celebrations, culminating in a New Year's Eve dinner that promises to be unforgettable (just remember, it's pay-on-the-spot).
As your Armenian escapade draws to a close, day five eases you into departure with breakfast at the hotel and a transfer to the airport, wrapping up a journey filled with cultural immersion, historical exploration, and the joy of Armenian hospitality.
