Armenia
Armenia, not so long ago referred to as the "Land of Stones," is a place of astonishing and diverse topographies, rich solitarily history, and friendly pictures that is how the people are. This small country located in the southern part of Caucasus is where one could witness one of the oldest cultures of the world still surviving with full glory; where the ancient ways have smoothly transitioned into modernity.
This lovely place is filled with picturesque mountains, lush valleys, and monasteries built centuries ago that appear to be coming out from stones. The towering Mount Ararat, a representation of the nation and a religious site, is the first thing that you will see in the skyline, thus, effectively providing a picturesque view not only to Yerevan, the capital, but also to the entire region which has witnessed the rise and fall of one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world.
The remarkable things travellers can see include the very places listed by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites like the Monastery of Geghard (hewn into the mountains) and the two great monasteries of Haghpat and Sanahin which are the most important examples of medieval Armenians’ architecture. The breathtaking scenery around Lake Sevan, the "Pearl of Armenia" calls for the visitors to come and get refreshed with the waters. Venturing into the Tatev Monastery will be most delightful, where you can walk on the sky and experience the project of the world's longest reversible cableway.
Armenia is also a place where you can find and witness an abundance of art and culture; sources of this can be found in everything from the gentle, melodious folk song and colorful, gaiety-filled celebrations to the happenings in the kitchen where lavash bread, khorovats (barbecued meat in Armenian style), and wines from the local vineyards are narrating the stories of the country’s hospitality and culture.If you are a hiker and your way takes you through the ravines rich in greenery, or vice versa if you are a culture lover who visits the old monasteries, or if you are a wanderer who slowly explores the art in the bustling streets of Yerevan while sipping coffee – then, there is no place better than Armenia for one to enjoy the experience that is at the same time spiritually and humanly satisfying.
