Overview
Khor Virap Monastery is located about an hour’s drive from Yerevan and offers stunning views of Armenia’s iconic symbol, the majestic Mount Ararat. The name Khor Virap means "deep dungeon," as it was built on the site of a former royal prison in historic Artashat. This monastery is one of the holiest places for Armenians worldwide. The tour also includes a visit to Areni Cave, also known as Bird’s Cave. In 2008, archaeologists unearthed some of the world’s oldest artifacts here, including a leather shoe and an ancient winery. Another highlight is Noravank, a treasure of medieval Armenian architecture, perched amid the breathtaking brick-red cliffs at the end of the Gnishik Canyon. You’ll conclude your day in the picturesque village of Areni, renowned for its winemaking tradition. Here, you can tour a local winery and sample a selection of fine Armenian wines, including the famous Areni variety.
