Dream Armenia
This land of ancient monasteries and fortresses in the exotic beauty of the Caucasus – Armenia has a very long history, rich culture, hospitable people, excellent food, wonders of nature, picturesque places with sweeping panoramas, beautiful mountains, dense forests and opportunities to experience a completely different take on western culture.
Khachkar
The Khachkar is little known outside of Armenia but it is a window into a vast history of this country. The khachkar both stimulated and reflected the unique development of Armenian culture. It is one of the most characteristic symbols of Armenian identity. With its marvelous carvings, savior symbolism of the cross, and the notion of eternity, the khachkar is one of the most respected and accessible symbols.
Mt. Ararat
Khor Virap Monastery, a 4th century castle-like fairy-tale monastery is the most iconic site in Armenia and one of the most important Christian sites in the world. Its location, near the closest point to biblical Mount Ararat within Armenian borders, offers a spectacular view of the snow-capped mountain, the national symbol of Armenia.
Noravank monastery
Noravank is the jewel of the crown among all the medieval sites in South Caucasus. The monastery is nestled among giant red rocks and mountains, just above a deep gorge. This monastery features a bas-relief with the representation of Father God with almond-shaped eyes which look far ahead.
