Shaki Waterfall
Deep in the Vorotan Gorge, Shaki Waterfall is often cited as the most beautiful in Armenia. Falling from a height of 18 meters, the water flows over a wide, semicircular basalt cliff, creating a delicate white veil against the dark volcanic rock. Legend says it was named after a beautiful girl named Shaki who threw herself from a cliff to escape an invader, her long hair turning into the cascading water.
Khndzoresk: The Living Cave City
Khndzoresk: The Living Cave City
Step back in time at Old Khndzoresk, a historical village carved into the soft volcanic rock of a steep canyon. Until the mid-20th century, thousands of people lived in these man-made caves. To reach the ancient settlement, you’ll cross the famous 160-meter-long swinging bridge, which hangs 63 meters above the canyon floor. Walking across provides a thrill and a panoramic view of the cave dwellings and the lush gorge below.
Tatev Monastery
Perched on the edge of a deep basalt plateau, the 9th-century Tatev Monastery is one of the most spiritually and architecturally significant sites in the world. It was once a premier university and a beacon of science and philosophy. To get there, you’ll ride the Wings of Tatev, the world’s longest reversible aerial tramway, soaring high above the Vorotan River Gorge with breathtaking views that stretch for miles.
Areni wine Factory
Areni is the epicenter of Armenian winemaking, famous for its indigenous Areni Noir grapes.
A visit to a local factory offers insight into both traditional and modern production methods. You’ll enjoy a tasting session featuring a variety of red and white wines, as well as unique fruit wines like pomegranate and apricot.

Yerevan Republic square or Your accommodation.

“Personalized tour of Etchmiadzin and Mother Armenia”
Book Chris when touring Etchmiadzin, St. Gayane, and St. Hripsime - his expertise and knowledge of the Armenian Apostolic Church and the history of the church, saints, and practices are invaluable and elevate your tour of these special religious sites. In addition to his warm demeanor, he was willing to accommodate my special requests and tailor my experience to fit my needs, which I greatly appreciated. In addition, he speaks numerous languages (his English is perfect), drives his own (very clean) car, and navigates the crazy traffic and roads in Yerevan well - I felt very safe and well taken care of during my tour. Thank you Chris for making my visit to Armenia unforgettable!
Chris K.
Thank you AMY so much for those kind words! It was truly a pleasure to show you around Etchmiadzin and the beautiful churches of St. Gayane and St. Hripsime. Sharing the deep history and traditions of the Armenian Apostolic Church is a passion of mine, so I’m thrilled to hear that the insights added a special layer to your visit. I always strive to make sure my guests feel comfortable, safe, and heard, so I'm glad I could accommodate your requests and navigate the Yerevan roads smoothly for you! Knowing that I helped make your time in Armenia unforgettable is the best reward I could ask for. You are welcome back anytime! Best regards, Chris ։)
