The tour begins with a trip to the unique rock monastery of the 13th century Geghard, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was here, in Geghard, that the Spear of Longinus was kept for many centuries, by which the centurion pierced the body of Jesus Christ. On the territory of the monastery you will see unique specimens of Armenian khachkars - creations of Armenian masters, representing beautifully carved stones with the image of a cross. After a tour of the monastery, the tour will continue to the village of Garni, where the only copy of Hellenistic architecture in the region is the Garni temple. At the end of the tour you will go to Lake Sevan - the pearl of Armenian nature, one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world, located at an altitude of 1900 m above sea level. Here you stay in a cozy hotel, and the next three days you will have free time to relax on the lake.
