Armenia, 9 Days · Tailor-made by car
Silk Route and its Monasteries
Fall in love with a country with its roots in one of the world's oldest civilisations
The whole of Armenia will enamour you. Pretty much off the tourist trail, it's a truly authentic country that has its roots in one of the world's oldest civilisations. Straddling Europe and Asia and landlocked between Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Iran, Armenia boasts a rich architectural heritage with some fabulous ancient monasteries, many of them listed as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. This is because, back in the year 301, this jewel embedded in the Caucasus was the first nation to adopt Christianity as its official religion, and its long-lasting influence is perfectly reflected in the very identity of the Armenian people. Its cultural legacy also features the traces of the ancient Silk Road, probably the most important trade route in history and which for centuries connected East with West. In Armenia you can discover first-hand the famous caravanserai, the roadside inns dotted along the arduous route designed to welcome travelling merchants for a night's rest. You'll also fall in love with Armenia's stunning landscapes of volcanic plateaus and deep valleys, always under the watchful eye of the majestic and omnipresent Mount Ararat, where Noah's Ark is said have run aground.And also with the affable and hospitable character of the Armenians, who are always willing to help you and to offer you their friendship. Don't miss out on the chance to embark upon this fabulous road trip and become one of the first travellers to explore Armenia, a country that will enamour you mile after mile after mile.
