Garni Temple - Armenia
By visiting the Garni Temple you’ll see remains of several monuments like the Garni temple itself still standing, the remains of the circular church of Garni, the remains of the palace and audience hall with a bathhouse and the city wall. Most of the building where almost completely ruined after several earthquakes…
Also the Tiridates' inscription - which is a pretty big piece of stone with a Greek inscription which was discovered in 1945. The text is not complete readable but still it is giving a lot of information about the history of Garni (you can search more about it online)

Garni Temple - Armenia
The Temple of Garni is the only standing building in Armenia from Greco-Roman colonnaded era.
It is one of the best known places in Armenia for tourists to visit, and it is definitely worth it! The building is absolutely gorgeous 😍
It is located in central Armenia in the village of Garni and it is not far from Geghard Monastery and usually people visit both places the same day…
Whenever me and my family were going to Geghard Monastery we were almost always also visiting the Garni temple. I absolutely love visiting Garni as I can see the history which is standing there since the 1st or 2nd century AD.

Garni Temple Bathhouse - Armenia
The Garni temple was completed in first or second century AD. The bathhouse is located to the north of Garni temple. The bathhouse dates to the third century.
There was a Roman-style floor with mosaic and heating. So, floor was laid on little columns made of bricks as you can see in the pictures.
On the mosaic floor you can steel see some aquatic symbols like a dolphin etc and even see mythological figures like Eros (love) 🤍
There are some greek words - that can be read but the meaning isn’t really clear…
If you go there it’s better to have a hide who will tell you a lot of information about everything you will see there.

Lake Sevan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Family Trip - Lake Sevan
Lake Sevan is the largest body of water in Armenia and the Caucasus region. The lake is situated in Gegharkunik Province, at an altitude of 1,900.44 m or 6,235 ft above sea level. So It is one of the largest freshwater high-altitude (alpine) lakes in Eurasia.
I always loved swimming in the cool water of Sevan, it was one of my favorite destinations in Armenia since I was a child. Now every time when I stand on the shore of the lake, it brings up a lot of good and warm childhood memories.
You can find several old church around the lake but the most popular one among tourists is (Sevanavank) located on a peninsula at the northwestern shore of Lake Sevan.

Blue-eyed Lake Sevan in Armenia
Venturing into the oil-painting-like Lake Sevan | Armenia of my dreams!
| Armenia of my dreams! 🇦🇲 About 60 kilometers drive in Armenia, there is a place like an oil painting, called Lake Sevan, known as the "Blue Tear of the Caucasus", it is a plateau freshwater lake, accounting for three percent of the total area of Armenia, almost half the size of Dongting Lake. You can join a day tour, if there are many people, you can also rent a car directly in Yerevan and play all the way~
🌜For more than two thousand years, countless churches and castles have been built along the lake, and the ancient Silk Road also passed through here. Unfortunately, the sky was not beautiful this time, I didn't see the blue tears, I saw the gray tears💧, it is another scene~
🔥Attractions:
1, Sevanavank Monastery⛪
Sevan Peninsula is one of the most beautiful places of Lake Sevan, and Sevanavank Monastery (Sevanavank) is a landmark monastery complex located on the peninsula at the northwest corner of Lake Sevan, composed of two monasteries, one means saints, one means the Virgin,
⛪The monastery was founded in 874 AD, and has withstood the test of time⚡, still as strong as ever, making people feel as if they have returned to medieval Europe in an instant. The monastery is built by the lake, 🍂The yellow leaves in autumn and the black monastery are like an oil painting against the "blue tears"💧, it's so beautiful, walking by the lake will also make you feel calm!

The pilgrimage site in Armenia, the Holy Lance Monastery
Geghard Monastery, also known as the Holy Lance Monastery, once housed the long spear that the Roman soldier used to stab Jesus, as well as fragments of wood from Noah's Ark, making it a pilgrimage site for Armenian Christians for centuries. It was listed as a World Cultural Heritage in 2000.
Many of the monastery's buildings are carved into the mountain rock, very primitive, and the use of space is very clever, with lighting relying solely on small windows carved out. Inside the monastery, there is a spring that trickles out from the stone wall. Various exquisite crosses are carved on the mountain rock, as well as large and small caves for asceticism.

Zvartnots Int. Airport - New terminal
Zvartnots International Airport is located near Zvartnots, about 15 km west of the capital city of Armenia - Yerevan.
The airport was first opened in 1961. In 2011 a new modern departures and arrivals terminal, car-parking with a capacity of 600 vehicles and a government delegation terminal (VIP terminal) were opened.
According to different sources about $160 million have been invested in Zvartnots’s reconstruction.
The newly built terminal have the capacity to process up to 3.5 million passengers every year.
Hopefully the old terminal building will not be demolished as it is an amazing architectural project build in 1970s.

Zvartnots Int. Airport - Old Terminal
Zvartnots International Airport is the main international airport of Armenia and Yerevan's main international transport hub.
In this post I want to tell you a little bit about the old terminal building of the Airport.
it was built in the 1970s. The old terminal is the circular terminal. The parking area used to be underneath the bridge serving the Departures. The Arrivals hall was on the lowest floor, it was small and rather narrow.
Once, it was the height of luxury with a restaurant high up on the central control tower and views across to the Armenian capital Yerevan.
more than 2,500 passengers crowded through the country's most modern airport terminal every hour.
Now it sits abandoned,locked. and facing demolition.

Republic Square Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Charming city center of Yerevan
Location: Yerevan, Armenia
Republic square of Yerevan is charming both at night and daytime. At night it is lit up with beautiful lights. Dancing fountains add another vibe to the square. Summertime it is crowded with lots of people. We went there on Wednesday and no matter it was a weekday but still there were so many people at the square.
Daytime you can enjoy the beautiful ornaments on the buildings which are build in pink and yellow tuff.

Arts in Yeravan
#artshunting We visited Yerevan for 2 nights. Wandering around the Public Square to admire the sculptures in the LOVE garden in front of the Cascade Complex would refresh your days. It was a little bit exhausting to climb up 572 steps to getting up the top however it was worth to do so. You can see the whole town from up there and all the beautiful sculptures in the garden. The city of Yerevan was so wonderful and worth to spend a day or two there.
Republic square Yerevan, Armenia
The well-known and stunning republic square is
located in the heart of Yerevan. The square was
created in 1924 to represent a fusion of national
styles. Its shape is similar to an oval and a
trapeze. If you need to travel to the square, don't
worry; there are buses, minibuses and metro
stations available to carry tourists and locals. The
history museum and the art gallery are two of the
five iconic buildings in Republic Square.
The most loved, interesting perspective of the
lovely fountains may be seen at the museum.
They are accustomed to making music exquisite
through their unmistakable color change in
accordance with the rhythm .They are constantly
accessible from late May to October, so don't
miss out on this incredible view. Get to Republic
Square for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure
