BOOK
Small country — big impressions. Armenia is a mix of majestic nature and architecture that is carefully woven into the landscape. And the glue of this mix is the people we’ll meet along the way, who will tell us about their country.

We’ll create the perfect loop with you — no road will be repeated. Maximum variety — from ancient temples to Soviet ruins, from cold Dimats to hot Areni.

Mount Aragats, a hub of science
Observatories, radio observatories — some active, some abandoned. All of them are completely at our disposal.
Dimats
A mountain of incredible beauty that requires patience to climb.
Architecture
So perfectly integrated into nature that it seems nature itself created it.
Vayots Dzor wine region
Arguably some of the most beautiful vineyards are right here, and the wine is every bit as good as the surrounding scenery.
DAY BY DAY
Yerevan — Geghard — Byurakan
08:30 – Departure from Yerevan.

We head straight to the Symphony of Stones. We’ll walk among giant basalt columns.

After taking in the beauty, we move to the slopes of Mount Aragats — the true "science mountain" of all Armenia. We’ll have lunch, then visit the Byurakan Observatory, see the large Ambartsumian telescope, and if we're lucky — the Schmidt telescope as well.

Then we’ll head to the most amazing spot — the ROT 54 radio telescope, a masterpiece of Soviet engineering.

We’ll stay overnight right in Byurakan, at a wonderful hotel.

19:00 – Dinner
Byurakan — Lori — Dilijan
09:00 – Breakfast

Early in the morning we head to the slopes of Aragats, up to Amberd Fortress — to enjoy it in near solitude, just like we did with Geghard. The views from Amberd are stunning, and the drive itself is magnificent, especially in early summer when everything is in bloom.

On the way down, we’ll stop for coffee, then continue toward Dilijan across the Pambak Pass, passing through Spitak and Vanadzor. We’ll have a snack in Vanadzor.

In Dilijan, we’ll visit Haghartsin in the evening, hidden among centuries-old beech and oak forests. If time allows, we’ll also check out the abandoned railway line that was meant to connect Armenia and Azerbaijan but was never completed.

19:00 – Dinner, check-in in Dilijan
Dilijan — Sevan — Areni
08:00 – Departure before breakfast to avoid the crowds — we’ll eat once we get there.

We’re heading to the stunning Dimats mountain rock, which offers breathtaking views from its cliffs. We’ll use rugged UAZ “goat” vehicles for the off-road transfer — an unforgettable experience on its own. It will be bumpy, but absolutely worth it!

After descending from Dimats, we’ll head toward Sevan, where we’ll have a delicious lunch at a fish restaurant.

Then we continue to the smallest region of Armenia — Vayots Dzor — via the scenic Selim Pass, so we don’t take the same roads twice. The cradle of Armenian wine awaits us — the Areni region — as well as the beautiful Anapat Canyon, which we’ll view from above at sunset.

19:00 – Dinner, overnight at a hotel in Areni.
Areni — Yerevan
At 8:00 sharp we head to Noravank (again, to avoid the crowds). An absolutely stunning place surrounded by pink travertine cliffs.

Next, we’ll enjoy a tasting of Armenian wines at a really cool and charming vineyard. Armenia has limitless potential, and European winemakers feel it — that’s why they’re investing here.

On this day, we’ll adjust the schedule to your flight from Yerevan.

If there’s no rush, we’ll stop at the Canyon of Angels on the way to Yerevan, have lunch, and then continue to the airport. Goodbye, Armenia!
