A Memorable Trip to Northern Armenia - During our visit to Georgia, we had the opportunity to explore Northern Armenia, and it was an unforgettable experience filled with breathtaking sights and rich history. Our guide, Temu, was fantastic—his deep knowledge and extensive experience made the journey even more special. He shared fascinating insights throughout the trip, bringing the history and culture of the region to life. We were a group of four and traveled in a comfortable car, which made the trip smooth and enjoyable. One of the highlights was visiting one of Armenia’s oldest monasteries. We also explored old Soviet-era sites, which gave us a glimpse into Armenia’s past during the Soviet period. To complete the experience, we enjoyed a traditional Armenian lunch with a local family. However, we strongly recommend booking a two-day trip to Armenia, as one day simply isn’t enough to fully explore and appreciate everything this beautiful country has to offer. There’s so much more to see and experience beyond a single-day itinerary!
