Everything on this route lies within an hour of Yerevan, which is what makes it possible to see four very different places properly rather than in passing. The journey begins with a short stop at the Arch of Charents, one of the most scenic viewpoints on the way to Garni. Afterwards, visit Garni Temple, a 1st-century pagan temple dedicated to Mihr, the Sun God, and one of the finest symbols of Armenia's ancient heritage. The tour then continues to Geghard Monastery, a remarkable complex partially carved into the rock and included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The final highlight is the Symphony of Stones in Garni Canyon, often called the "Basalt Organ" for its extraordinary natural rock formations. Your driver is licensed and knows these roads — if you want longer at the canyon, or a stop for photographs on the way back, just say so.
