We had a wonderful experience visiting Khor Virap and Areni village in the southern part of Armenia.
Although we couldn’t get a full view of mount Ararat due to cloudy weather, the views from the top of the monastery were still very beautiful.
Our tour guide Rose shared so many interesting stories about the history of Armenia, the importance of Mount Ararat for Armenians along with stories about the Genocide and other important historical details.
All the destinations were beautiful and the journey to each of them was even more beautiful with stunning views of mountains and valleys.
It was raining on and off but our driver Levon did a great job of driving safely and ensuring we reach on time.
I would just point out that the wine tasting was not very detailed. They gave us a tour of the factory and shared the process of wine making but didn’t go into the details of how to drink or smell the wines. Having said that, all the wines we tasted were really good. And it is all included in the package price.
