THE COUNTRY
Armenia, a land where history and legend intertwine, beckons travellers with its rugged mountains and ancient monasteries. Nestled in the heart of the Caucasus, this small but storied nation is a cradle of civilisation, where echoes of its Christian heritage echo through ancient stone churches. The peaks of Mount Ararat, shrouded in myth and mist, loom over the landscape, whispering tales of Noah's Ark and the dawn of mankind.
Yerevan, the vibrant capital, pulses with a unique blend of old-world charm and modern ambition, its streets lined with cafes and boutiques inviting exploration. But beyond the cities lies the true soul of Armenia - a mosaic of hidden valleys, crystal-clear lakes and villages where hospitality is a way of life. Here, the past is not only remembered but lived, inviting each visitor to become part of its timeless history.
